Qatar Visitor - Travel Guide to Doha & Qatar: At the beach

As the temperature rises in Doha, Qatar, locals head to a nearby beach. Of course this is done Qatar style - land cruisers are drawn up on the water's edge, so that water is only a few short feet away from the car. Jet skis roar perilously close to the sand, only a few feet away from bathers and small children, skidding side ways to send up plumes of water, while young children roar round the beach on quads. As we stood there, one man roared at three Indian men for daring to walk in front of him, and his son drove at them on his quad.

The Doha skyline is visible from the beach
