Here are some fun things to rent in Qatar

Tired of doing everyday things? We give you a few ideas of fun and adventurous things you can do for a day in Qatar. How many have you tried?

 

Rent a jet ski

Sealine Resort has jet skis for rent, and Al Bandar as well. However, make sure you don’t do this by yourself, especially if you are a beginner. Jet Ski rentals in Sealine have instructors as well.

 

Rent a Dune Buggy in Sealine

Dune buggies are a lot of fun, although dangerous if not done properly. If you are a beginner, it is advisable to stay on the ground itself, and only climb small mounds. You can rent dune buggies in Sealine beach. Costs vary depending on who you rent from, but an average of 100 QR per half hour is common.

 

Rent a Dhow

A lot of people who have lived in Doha for years haven’t actually tried going on a dhow. You do have the gaudy but fun looking dhows which take you on a 20 minute ride towards West Bay and back to the Corniche. However, if you’re looking for something more than that, a dhow costs you roughly QR 3000 for around 6 hours. Drive around Al Bandar, and you will find lots of dhows for rent.

 

Rent a bike in aspire

A few years back, you could rent a bicycle in Aspire and ride around. Aspire park, being super beautiful and scenic, makes a unique and interesting cycle track. However, we were not able to confirm if cycling is still allowed and renting a bike is possible currently. If you know, let us know in the comments.

 

Rent a 4WD

Driving a 4x4 is not a luxury in Qatar, it’s a necessity, according to some, and is now ingrained in the local culture. In case you are one of those people who don’t own one of your own, it’s actually pretty easy to get one on rent. Rent a 4x4 and venture out to explore Doha, on road and more importantly, off road. And if you have any experience – the sand dunes in Sealine are calling out to you. A Nissan Patrol costs roughly QR 500 for a day, prices vary depending on where you are renting it from of course.

If you have any more suggestions, let us know in the comments.
