Four outdoor activities to enjoy in Qatar this winter

It’s that time of the year in Qatar again, and even though it’s not cold enough to call it winter, temperatures have dropped.  Weather has improved and cooled down dropping about 15-20 degrees. It’s the perfect time of the year to get out and enjoy the great outdoors.

Here’s a list of four outdoor activities in Qatar that will leave you feeling refreshed and reinvigorated:

1. Picnic in the Park

Why not grab your picnic basket, fill it up with goodies and head out to one of the many parks in Qatar. There are a number of parks to choose from. You could go to Aspire Park, Dahl al Hamam Park, Museum of Islamic Art Park, Sheraton Park or even AlKhor Park and enjoy a nice, relaxing picnic. Kids can ride their bikes or play football, while you take in the fresh air and just unwind.

2. Barbecue on the Beach

Barbecues are especially nice in Qatar at this time of the year. Gather your barbecue gear, marinate some meat and drive on out to the beach. Take a swim in the sea, build sandcastles with the kids, enjoy a delicious barbecue meal and enjoy the fresh sea breeze.

You can choose between the Wakrah Family Beach, Sealine Beach, Fuwairit Beach or you can drive up to the very tip of Qatar in the north (Shamal) and enjoy the beautiful beach there or the Inland Sea Beach at the border with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

3. Strolling on the Corniche

Feel the wind blowing in your face as you marvel at Doha’s magnificent skyline while taking a walk along the Corniche. Oh, and while you’re there, use the free exercise equipment dotted along the Corniche and burn off some calories.

4. Camping in the Desert

The cool weather experience would not be complete without a trip to the desert. Why not plan a camping trip in the desert. Stay overnight under the stars with the sound of the sea lulling you to sleep.  There are plenty of camping spots along the Sealine. So, pack your camping stuff and head on down to the deserts of Qatar and enjoy nature at its best.

What do you think? Are you ready for some great weather in Qatar?
