Overnight Desert Safari Camp – overnight desert safari qatar – Qatar Layover Tours1 / 3

Overview

Turn your desert adventure into an unforgettable overnight stay. After afternoon dune bashing and a sunset at the Inland Sea, settle into a Bedouin-style desert camp. Enjoy Arabic coffee and dates, a BBQ dinner, shisha, and stargazing far from city lights. Wake up to a peaceful desert sunrise, enjoy breakfast and return to Doha the next morning. A bucket-list experience for families, groups and anyone wanting to see Qatar's wild side.

What to expect

Wear light, comfortable clothing, sunglasses and sunscreen, and bring a light layer for the evening. Closed shoes are fine, but you will probably end up with sand in them, so many guests prefer sandals. Dune bashing is energetic: it is not recommended for pregnant guests, anyone with back or neck problems, or young babies. Your driver will explain the safety rules before leaving the paved road.
