Yes I think u do, better check with the concerned authorities.

Also heard a hefty fine is placed on unlicensed camps

inland sea,.as far as you can go to the saudi border.. more then enough secluded spots in between dunes and on the beach,. to camp out,. we go out atleast 2 times a month or so for a overnight and always found a nice spot. never been bothered by noise quad riders or so

Hi guys.

What's it like for camping over night on Al Wakra beach. Is it peacefully or do people spoil the peace and quiet with quad bikes etc?

Has anyone found any nice clean secluded quiet spots in Qatar for camping?

Thanks

Colin

29th Nov is a full moon? awesome...

Thanks mate

I've tried those camp tent from careffore long time back 3 years I guess,,... and still ok.

few thoughts... whenever to camp... just move away from th access road or path of an ATV... they do a lot of disturbing during from precesious night...

Are Lulu/Carrefour tents good?

also LULU has cheap(er) tents and sleepmats and bags.

for the highend of the market shop at gosport in city center mall lots of gear but at a higher price.

Thank you all :)

i have been reading some of the earlier posts regarding the subject. Carrefour seems to sell low-cost tents. anynbody tried those? any good?

do you have a GPS grid ?

wy not post the GPS grid, and see who shows up at the 29th ?

i drive out to hang out at least and if the crowd is ok camp over

I was actually planning a night-out on the 29th of this month which would be a Thursday and also a full moon night. There are some dunes at Karara area near the American Base camp. I have been there once and realised it would be a nice spot for a night-out.

You got the family beach at the sea line, the weather is splendid at night.

well there not campsites,... there campspots

you camp anywhere you like,..so just find a spot with was not used lately to camp on

i go as a Land Rover driver by the "leave no trace" policy but that seems not the normall procedure here in qatar, so it is realy obiously when i spot was used to camp over

dig a hole at a far distance from the camp spot;)

back home a have a "porta potti" chemical toilet,.didnt she those yet in qatar,so we go old school and dig a hole.

one campstore at the falcon souk sell a toilet ring chair

so you either dig a hole and put the seat over it or you tie a carbage bag to the seat

cracydutch lols.. thats cracy

Like in Africa, beach camping sites has washrooms at the far end corner of the site. Its few acres of beach with trees and mangroves :(

Over night tenting ? what you guys do for the toilet?

also Zekreet area is nice to camp out,

if you drive from sealine resort to inland sea by the coastline (thru the dunes and not the dessert highway) there are a few nice camp spots as well witch are clean and not crowded later on the day.

we tent to leave at midday from sealine resort do a bit offroading / dune bashing and then camp out with and have a dive in sea, some stay overnight as well (me included)

you do need a real 4x4 tough to do so, for zekreet area a crossover will work fine

Thanks for your suggestions :) I've heard about Fuwairit but never gone there

you can camp anywhere you want.......

i am going for camping this weekend again with my buddies..

Does that include spending the night there?

not needed,.just drive to sealine and camp out with BBQ is even better, we normally camp out on the beach
