Keshta Under The Stars

Introduction

Doha, Qatar / 6 Hours

Expedition Overview

Some of the best evenings in Qatar happen far from the city lights, where the desert grows quiet and the night sky becomes part of the experience.
Leave Doha behind and head into Qatar's southern desert for an evening of golden dunes, wide-open views and traditional Arabian hospitality. Along the way, stop at the camel area, where you can enjoy a camel ride or take photos with falcons, then continue through the scenic dunes towards Khor Al Adaid, the Inland Sea.
Want a little more adventure? Add sandboarding to your trip or ask about visiting the quad bike and buggy activity area.
As evening settles in, it's time for a traditional Arabian Keshta (desert picnic). Sit back with Arabian coffee or tea and dates, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and look up at the stars.
There's no telescope or complicated astronomy lesson here. Just you, the open desert and the chance to appreciate the night sky as it is.
