Haloul Island
This hilly island has excellent fishing grounds in its surroundings and rises to 190 feet. Its seabed comprises of plenty of coral reefs and beautiful coral fishes that provide a wonderful opportunity for scuba divers who love to observe marine life.

Al-Safia Island
The island is fifteen minutes by boat from Doha, and is more of a tourist resort, though small in size.

Alia Island
