I am interested in visiting the "Inland SEA".
Any advice on this subject, including directions. How safe is it to go in one 4 wheel drive vehicle?
Time to allow for journey.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Access to the Inland Sea starts with a 60 minute drive from Doha through the towns of Al Wakrah and Umm Sa'id to Sealine Beach Resort. This route is 45 minutes directly south of the Doha Airport. From there two routes to the Inland Sea have been established. The first primarily traverses flat terrain providing a smooth scenic drive to the Inland Sea beach (another 80 minutes). The second route is for the more adventurous and experienced “dune bashersâ€?. This route is only traversable by 4x4 vehicles that are specially prepared to handle climbing large sand dunes. Timing varies considerably along the “dune basherâ€? route. Dan Hagueis (mailto:[email protected]) very experienced in desert driving and can give you advice about safety precautions.

The locals call the inland sea Khor Al Adid. There are several stunning aerial pictures of this location on the Embassy of the State of Qatar (http://www.qatarembassy.net/) web site. Here is one of our favorites images of Khor Al Adid (http://www.qatarembassy.net/Qatar%20Gallery/Envirment/slides/Envirment035.asp).
