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.

A unique Qatari experience

5.00I went to the west coast of Qatar. We looked around at natural strange rocks, robots practicing camel racing, modern art and beaches. The guide is very attentive 👍. My guide told me that the Japanese only smile and say yes. It's better to say clearly what's wrong or what you don't like.
New Landscapes - Getting Beyond the City

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was a very interesting tour and a good way to see parts of Qatar beyond the city of Doha. We had a small group (myself, the driver, and two others) so were able to have some conversation and listen to music to pass the time to the drive out west and back. The desert is really beautiful in its starkness - such a contrast to Doha and well worth the visit! Rehan was also an excellent guide - he quite literally took me by the hand to make sure that I could explore the rock formations safely. The trip was as-promised around four hours round-trip, including a quick stop for karak chai. If you're looking to get out of the city, I highly recommend this tour.
Great tour to west or Qatar
