Outdoor adventures

A camel ride and sandboarding session is a favourite with children and easy to add to any desert safari. Families also love dhow cruises on Doha Bay — short, scenic and full of skyline views.

Beat the heat indoors

  • Snow Dunes — an indoor snow park for sledging and snow play
  • Doha Quest — an indoor theme park with family rides
  • Angry Birds World — a colourful indoor park for younger children
  • The 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic & Sports Museum — interactive galleries for all ages

Water parks

From autumn to spring the outdoor water parks are at their best. Check each venue for opening dates, height limits and seasonal closures before you travel.

Tips for families

  • Book a private vehicle with child seats for stress-free transfers
  • Plan one big activity a day and keep afternoons flexible
  • Carry water, sun protection and snacks
  • Tell us the children's ages when you book so we can prepare the right seating

Are desert safaris suitable for toddlers?

+

Children are welcome on our safaris; infants and toddlers should travel with an adult and the driver can adapt the route. Dune bashing is not recommended for babies.
