I'm in Al Khor, and there are quite a few good desert tracks around if you want a bit of an explore.

Unfortunately you won't find anything like fell running, I've yet to see a proper hill (being from the Isle of Wight - and having done the fell running weekend there last year!).

It's been okay outside for the last month or so, but in the summer months it's ridiculous. I done a 11km run in early September when I arrived and felt like I was going to die. I actually had to stop and walk - I've never done that before!
