Private Tour

Discover the remarkable desert landscape where sand dunes spill into the azure waters of the Inland Sea. Our qualified desert drivers will take you on an adventure, travelling through the dramatic sand dunes to Khor Al Adaid, a large tidal embayment recognized for its outstanding natural heritage value.

After being collected from airport we drive approximately 1 hour to the entrance of the desert at Sealine. Here we have a brief stop to deflate our tyres.

From here, the adventure starts with our off-road desert drive through the dramatic sand dunes. Your experienced driver will navigate the dunes until we reach Khor Al Adaid, or the inland sea. You will have an opportunity to take in the magnificent desert landscape, visit the towering Sheraton Dune and marvel at the azure waters of the Arabian Sea before we depart for a brief comfort stop at our desert camp on the way back to Doha.
