What To Expect

Al Shahaniya Racetrack

Remote-controlled, toddler-sized robot jockeys, clothed in colourful racing silks delight locals and tourists, as they ride the lanky mammals across the sandy track. Racing camels can run at speeds of up to 40 mph in short sprints and may continue at 30 mph for as long as an hour. The operator applies the whip antenna, commands the jockey to pull on the reins, and shouts encouragement to the camel via a built-in speaker.

Zekreet Fort Ruins

The crumbling ruins of Zekreet Fort appear to be ancient, but the site was built only 200 years ago, perhaps by the pirate leader, Raḥmah ibn Jābir al-Jalāhimah. It was used for just a decade or two. Visit Zekreet Fort to see how Qatar’s sun, sand, winds and occasional rains have reduced the structure to an outline of the former fortification. Walk around the fort’s typical square shape. Note its corner towers including three circular in shape and one square.

Great tour! Staff was very nice and helpful while organising the tour. Special thanks to the guide (Rehan), for explaining everything to us during the visit (and for being a great photographer as well), even though we were a small quiet group. The visit was about 4h and we got to see some interesting places (and lots of camels).

Rehan Butt was our very friendly guide, sharing a lot of interesting information about life in Qatar, the surroundings and the goals of the tour. He gave us a lot of time to explore the places of interest. We were amazed about the limestone landscape with its strange overhanging rock formations. The artwork of Richard Serra (14 m high of solid steel) gives an alienating feeling, so strangely standing in the landscape. We did not know what to expect at the camel race track, but seeing hundreds of camels for their evening walk was a surprise. It was a lovely afternoon tour!
Great tour in Qatar
