The west of Qatar is where the country gets strange and beautiful. Head out past Dukhan and the landscape turns into empty coast, limestone plateaus, and one of the most striking pieces of land art in the world. Our West Qatar tour brings the highlights of this region together: Dukhan Beach on the west coast, the old Zekreet fort ruins and Film City, the wind-carved Mushroom Rock formations, and Richard Serra's towering steel sculpture in the Brouq nature reserve.
Over a half or full day, a local guide drives you out in a Land Cruiser, because much of the west sits off the paved roads and needs a proper 4x4 to reach. Pickup is included from your hotel across Doha, or from Hamad International for layover guests, and the route is built around what you want to see most.
For anyone who has done the dunes and the city, the west is the wild card, remote, cinematic, and unlike anywhere else in Qatar.
Your guide collects you from Doha or the airport and heads out toward the west coast in a 4x4, roughly an hour and a quarter out of the city.
Explore the old Zekreet fort ruins, the abandoned Film City set, and the wind-sculpted Mushroom Rock formations that make this stretch of desert look otherworldly.
Reach the four towering steel plates set deep in the Brouq nature reserve, one of the world's most remote and photographed land-art works, with time to walk the full line.
Finish on the west coast at Dukhan Beach for open water and quiet sand, before the drive back to Doha.
