[From AL FANAR to Film City via Dukhan Hwy. 1 hr 47 min (95 km)]
The film city is a contemporary recreation of an antique Arabic village nestled behind a canyon in the desert of the Zekreet peninsula. The Film City is located in one of Qatar’s truly fantastic site that is entirely deserted. The visitors really feel as they may have stepped into one of the ghost towns in the American west; with anomalous palm trees rather than tumbleweeds afford a visual treat in the never-ending arid landscape.
How to go?
Film city can be reached from Doha by following Dukhan highway taking D-Ring Road to Shamal then turn left at Al Rayyan Interchange (4-level interchange). This leads you to Dukhan Highway. After travelling nearly 90 kms, turn right once Zikreet route sign is reached.
It is worthwhile to bring along a person who has already visited the area, at least for two or more. Depending upon how many photo stops you make along the way, total trip may take 1-2 hours. Though a sedan type car can pass the route and make it to the film studio if tourists stay on the graded surfaces. Once we get off the graded tracks, 4WD is recommended.
