Nature & water
in Doha and Lusail.

A waterfront walk among Lusail’s towers, with seating, kiosks and views across the marina.

Getting there

Use a local taxi to Lusail Marina Promenade, or take the Red Line to Legtaifiya and continue by a separate car. Tell the driver which promenade entrance you want. Tram surface services are affected by maintenance; do not make them essential to the trip.

A guided paddle through the mangroves near Al Thakira, north of Doha.

Getting there

Arrange road transport to the operator’s meeting point at Al Meera, Al Thakira, then follow its current directions to camp. Request the meeting pin in your confirmation. The map marks Al Khor Island as the destination area, not the launch or supermarket.

A two-hour sunset sailing from Porto Arabia, with tea, coffee and views from a wooden dhow.

Getting there

Meet at Marina Gate 31, The Pearl, opposite Yasmine Palace. Parking is at Porto Arabia Tower 31. Use a taxi to the exact gate or Red Line to Legtaifiya followed by a local car. Obtain the final berth instructions with your booking; the map pin represents The Pearl destination area.

Swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding beside Katara’s restaurants and cultural buildings.

Getting there

Take the Red Line to Katara, then follow the district’s pedestrian route towards the waterfront and the beach entrance for your party. A taxi should use the confirmed beach-section drop-off, rather than stopping at a mosque or restaurant elsewhere in the complex.

A sandy beach, a family pool and an adults’ lap pool at Four Seasons The Pearl-Qatar.

Getting there

Book a taxi to Four Seasons Resort and Residences at The Pearl-Qatar, Porto Arabia Drive 127. From the Red Line, Legtaifiya needs a separate road connection into The Pearl; do not use the Corniche Four Seasons as the destination.

An afternoon of pools and beach time on Banana Island, with the boat home included.

Getting there

Go to the Banana Island reception at Al Shyoukh Port on Doha Corniche for the booked 15:00 departure. Obtain the operator’s exact check-in entrance and boarding cutoff, and allow at least 30 minutes as a planning margin. A taxi is the simplest hotel connection; the island map pin is the destination, not a drivable mainland meeting point.

A serviced West Bay beach with beanbags, shade sails and food beside the sand.

Getting there

Use the relocated Doha Beach Club entrance on the operator’s map, not an older B12 or Doha Sands-only pin. From West Bay hotels allow roughly 10–20 minutes by road; from Old Doha or Msheireb allow 20–35 minutes, and from Pearl/Lusail 20–40 minutes, before traffic delays. For a rail approach take the Red Line to DECC, then use a short licensed taxi to the current gate; the station is not on the beach. Friday trains start later, so an 08:00 beach arrival needs a road journey. Allow a further 10–15 minutes for admission and changing.

A public-beach outing followed by the old souq, with a separate car journey between the two.

Getting there

The map pin is Al Wakrah Family Beach, south of the old souq. Allow roughly 35–50 minutes by road from central Doha or 45–70 minutes from West Bay/Pearl/Lusail, longer in traffic. For the rail option take a Red Line train marked Al Wakra, not Hamad Intl Airport T1, then a separate taxi to the family-beach gate. From the beach allow a further 10–20 minutes by road to Souq Al Wakrah, whose visitor pin is 25.1711361, 51.6107262. Ask the driver for the relevant open beach entrance; do not treat the souq waterfront as the family-beach gate.

Open northern coastline, shallow water and tidal sand, with your own supplies and a booked return car.

Getting there

Book a licensed driver with a suitable vehicle from your actual Doha, West Bay, Pearl or Lusail hotel. Use Al Shamal Road towards the northeast coast and the Al Maroona beach location; obtain the current final approach from the driver before setting out. The last section may require a 4×4 depending on the route and ground conditions. The pin marks the beach area, not a paved entrance or a guaranteed parking bay. Do not take an ordinary rental car onto soft sand or assume the neighbouring Fuwairit resort admits you. No Metro connection reaches this shoreline.
