What To Expect
Al Khor
Also spelled Al Khawr means "sea on threesides" in Arabic. Older than Doha but far smaller in size. Al Khor is located an easy 50 kilometres to the north of Doha. It used to be the center of the pearling industry in Qatar but lost its importance after the introduction of cultured pearls. It now boasts a scenic harbour where you can find traditional fishing dhows, a corniche leading to mangrove colonies and a museum showcasing the fishing, pearling and dhow building industries.
Al Thakhira Beach
The mangroves colony is not only a major tourism product for Qatar but an important natural environmental resource for Qatar. It provides a natural habitat and a sanctuary for birds, fish and other animals as well as prevent coastal erosion.

5.00interesting tour to get to know the northwest of Qatar in one day. our guide Abdullah explained many things to us and took us to visit and discover some particular places. attentive and competent driver with a fluent English and understandable even by those who are not very familiar with the English language, answered all the thousands of questions we asked him clearly and precisely. we were two couples and this was very pleasant , practically a private tour at a very affordable price. Tour recommended for those who do not know the desert and for those who want to have an idea of what is outside Doha, ask Abdullah because he is really a very kind person and prepared in his craft.
Thanks to Abdullah
