Wondering which Qatar desert safari you should join? There are so many! Here you’ll find a list of the very best desert safaris from Doha to help you make the best decision!

One of the unmissable attractions in Qatar is the desert. No trip to Doha, Qatar is complete without a visit to the vast sand dunes and, of course, some exhilarating desert activities and experiences.

The desert offers plenty of enjoyment for thrill-seekers in particular, but you could take part in anything from riding a camel to watching the sunrise in the aridest place, and drinking tea in a desert camp. A desert trip is definitely on top of everyone’s list of things to do in Qatar!

Check out the ultimate list of Qatar desert safaris from Doha to find the one that best suits your interests (and matches the level of adrenaline you’re looking for)! 

I always book my tours with Viator and GetYourGuide, and I especially recommend them for their great cancellation policy. If your travel plans change, you can get a full refund on most activities canceling up to 24 hours in advance… which is especially important with the current situation! Here you’ll find a selection of the best tours from each of these two platforms.
