Every safari heads south from Doha to the Sealine dunes near Mesaieed and the Inland Sea (Khor Al Adaid), where the desert meets the sea. Private tours include hotel pickup anywhere in Doha; shared tours meet at the National Museum of Qatar metro station, Exit 2.

One day, both worlds: a desert safari to the Inland Sea combined with the Doha City Tour — the smart pick for a stopover.
Good to Know
The Inland Sea, Khor Al Adaid, is a tidal inlet in southern Qatar where the sea flows between towering dunes — one of the few places in the world where the desert meets the sea this way. It is a UNESCO-recognised natural reserve and can only be reached by 4×4 over the dunes; there is no road.
The safari dunes start at Sealine Beach near Mesaieed, about an hour's drive south of Doha. Most safaris include roughly an hour of driving each way inside the 4–5 hour tour time, with the dune bashing, camel ride and Inland Sea stops in between.
With Safari Doha, a shared safari is QAR 149 per person and a private safari starts from QAR 349 per person, priced per person by group size. Quad biking adds QAR 150 (250cc), and the overnight safari with BBQ dinner starts from QAR 550 per person. No hidden charges — the price on WhatsApp is the price you pay.
First time in Qatar: the Half-Day or Sunset Safari. Short on time or visiting in summer: the Morning Safari. Photography: Sunrise. A full desert night: the Overnight Safari. Only one free day: the Desert + City Combo. Message us on WhatsApp and we will match the tour to your schedule.

Private tours pick you up from your Doha hotel or address and drop you back at the same place. Shared tours meet at the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) metro station, Exit 2. The drive from Doha to the Sealine dunes takes about 45–60 minutes.
Half-day, morning, sunrise and sunset safaris last 4 to 5 hours including the drive from Doha. A full-day safari lasts about 8 hours, and the overnight safari runs from sunset to sunrise (about 18 hours) with dinner, camping and breakfast.
Wear light, comfortable clothes and closed shoes or sandals that are easy to shake sand out of. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat. From November to March, evenings in the desert get cool, so bring a light jacket, especially for sunset and overnight tours.
Dune bashing is done by certified, experienced desert drivers in insured 4×4 vehicles, and your driver adjusts the pace to your group. It is not recommended for pregnant guests, guests with back or neck problems, or children under 4. A gentler desert drive without dune bashing can be arranged on request.
October to April has the most comfortable weather. Sunrise and sunset departures give the best light and cooler temperatures all year. In summer, choose the early morning (04:00 or 08:00) or sunset departure to avoid midday heat.
