[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Quote per vehicle** Time to allow **Four-hour operator excursion** Place **Khor Al Adaid / southern Qatar** 01 / The experience ### Inland Sea: dune drive or gentle desert trip At Khor Al Adaid, the dunes reach a tidal inlet. The meeting of sand and water gives the Inland Sea its character and makes the southern desert worth a day away from Doha. The landscape is on UNESCO’s Tentative List, with a setting quite different from the city waterfront. Discover Qatar’s private four-hour excursion approaches through Sealine, takes in dune driving and an Inland Sea stop, and includes a camp comfort stop on the way. For a group of friends, the drive and the changing landscape can be as much of the outing as the destination itself. There is a gentler option too. Souqs & Dunes offers a private desert tour without dune bashing for visitors who mainly want the scenery. Both options need a free day and a booked return to the hotel. For the gentler tour, ask which ages can join and get written confirmation before booking. ![Sandy shoreline and calm tidal water at Khor Al Adaid]() Desert & active adventures **Inland Sea: dune drive or gentle desert trip** Doha and Lusail Dune ridge overlooking the tidal water of Khor Al Adaid Sandy shoreline and calm tidal water at Khor Al Adaid Wind-rippled sand beside the Inland Sea dunes 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit #### Cost & admission Discover Qatar: dated price per private vehicle, maximum five. Souqs & Dunes tours start at QAR 982; group conditions apply. #### When to go Discover Qatar departures run 09:00–13:00 or 14:00–18:00, subject to date availability. Other operators set their own departure times. Four-hour operator excursion; allow extra time for pickup arrangements. #### Getting there Khor Al Adaid / southern Qatar Book hotel collection and provide the actual hotel name and address. Discover Qatar’s standard pickup area is major hotels within Doha city limits; request a separate agreement for Lusail. The map pin represents the Inland Sea reserve area, not a road meeting point or self-drive route. #### Before you book Discover Qatar prohibits under-6s, pregnant passengers and people with specified cardiac, back or neck conditions; child seats are not supplied. Its vehicle requires independent entry. For Souqs & Dunes, resolve the stated minimum age of 16 and other child wording in writing. Ask each operator about suitability, cancellation and weather before payment. [Visit the venue or operator]() #### Your return journey The same booked excursion returns to its agreed hotel or drop-off. Put that address, any out-of-area supplement and the expected return window in the confirmation. Do not arrange a separate app-car pickup from the dunes. #### Accessibility Rough travel and high vehicle entry make this unsuitable for some visitors. The gentle option still needs operator acceptance for each passenger’s mobility or medical needs; it is not an assurance of accessibility. ### Location & nearby places Explore around Inland Sea: dune drive or gentle desert trip The map will load when you reach it. 06 / Good to know ### Inland Sea: dune drive or gentle desert trip: frequently asked questions 01 Is Qatar’s Inland Sea a UNESCO World Heritage Site?
