Hey travelers!
Looking for Qatar tour packages? What comes to your mind when you think of this beautiful destination? Well, it does not have snowcapped mountains, flower-clad meadows, or tropical beaches but somehow you will never feel like you are missing something. This is the power of beautiful Qatar. Qatar cultural experiences take your vacation to a completely different level.
Qatar is mostly a flat and sandy destination with some low hills and a central limestone plateau.
However, don’t think that the country doesn't offer exciting experiences. It is a completely different experience. If you are looking for beaches, Qatar has some trendy resorts offering beach view. These resorts are a straight competition to the French Riveria. The destination also offers beaches and deserts along with other astounding wonders.
Imagine an Inland Sea teeming with marine life, a quite green space and rock carvings in the middle of a bustling city. This is not it. You can feast your eyes on huge skyscrapers, distinct museums and modern hotels.
Let's take a look at some of the best sights one can witness in Qatar.
Brouq Nature Reserve
Qatar has 12 nature reserves that cover an area of 3,464 sq km of wildlife sanctuary and nesting grounds. Brouq Nature Reserve is one of the country’s most important conservation areas lying in the northwestern coast of Qatar, situated around 65 kilometers from Doha.
It is part of Ras Abroug a headland located on the northmost tip of the Zekreet Peninsula. The region is known for its Neolithic sites, gypsum cliffs, archaeological digs, mushroom shaped hills and legally protected areas.
The Brouq Nature Reserve hosts a significant population of gazelles, ostriches and other birds. You can also spot a few wild Deers and a variety of desert flora. The location is inhabited and untouched. You can witness scattered patches of vegetation. This region is considered as the best place to reintroduce some of the endangered species, including the Arabian Oryx.
The Pearl Qatar
The pearl is a multi-billion-dollar artificial island spanning around four kilometers. It is situated 350 meters off Doha’s West Bay Lagoon. It replicates a string of pearls which is meant to be a tribute to Qatar’s pearl diving and trading past.
The pearl has 12 precincts, each being different from the other. Every island has a different Mediterranean atmosphere, with clusters of seaside villas, yacht-lined marinas, pedestrian-friendly pizzas, alfresco cafes, and landscaped gardens.
One of the island’s best district is Medina Centrale which replicates the charms and nuances of a Mediterranean town square. It hosts beautiful gardens, palm tree-lined boulevards, terraced buildings and a lovely fountain.
Banana Island
The banana island is Qatar's answer to the water bungalows of Maldives, the sands of Greek islands, and turquoise waters of the Caribbean. It is situated across the coast of Doha and can be reached easily in about 25 minutes on a ferry.
This 13-heactare island feels like it belongs to a different part of the world. It has a half mile-long beach full of honey colored sand, long lines of verdant palm trees and shiny blue waters.
If you want to have a luxury experience, Banana Island is the place to go. It includes a 300-foot lagoon pool, an exclusive 20-seat movie theatre a span and a wellness center. There is an extensive selection of luxury overwater villas, high-end hotels, fancy cafes and world-class restaurants. It also has a floating restaurant.
Khor Al Adaid
This particular beauty is situated on the south-eastern part of Qatar. It has some of the most unique and breathtaking natural attractions. It is connected to the Persian Gulf by a deep and narrow 10-Km channel. No roads go to the region and the only way to access it is with a private 4x4 vehicle.
Khor Al Adaid has its own ecosystem that supports several species, including turtles, gazelles, oryxes, dolphins and the endangered Dugong. It is also home to a variety of bird species like ospreys, terns, seagulls, and migratory birds like flamingos and herons.
It is a great place to experience Qatar desert Safari. Some Qatar tour packages also offer skiing, quad biking and camel riding.
Fuwairit Beach
Fuwairit Beach offers the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. It is situated at a distance of 91 km from Doha. Visitors enjoy a long stretch of fine white sand, glassy blue waters and a sweeping shoreline filled with colorful seashells.
The Sandy bays at Fuwairit Beach are quite ideal for picnics. However, you will have to bring your own amenities as there are no restaurants or eateries nearby. There are no covered spaces so visitors must bring their own tents or umbrellas.
Al Jassasiya
Al Jassasiya has the biggest range of best-preserved petroglyphs. It has over 874 carvings spread around an area of 700 meters. There are a lot of rock carvings available all over Qatar but none of them are as impressive as Al Jassasiya.
Though experts have not agreed unanimously to the age of carvings, some suggest they date back to the New Stone Age. A majority of carvings reflect round holes arranged in various patterns like rosettes, rows and stars.
Tourists can also witness carvings of Dhows, fish, footprints, quadrupeds, ostriches, scorpions and other enigmatic patterns.
Aspire Park
The Aspire Park is definitely a man-made wonder. Just imagine a massive garden filled with lush greenery in the middle of a desert. It is nothing less than a miracle. It is situated in the Aspire Zone that spreads itself across an area of 217 acres.
It is the biggest green space with manicured lawns, scenic walking paths, exercise equipment, children's playgrounds, beautiful fountains, cafes and eateries. You will find a huge array of fascinating flora that includes the exotic Baobab trees grown and shipped from Argentina.
