Ras Abrouq
For views and spectacular sunsets, visit this otherworldly landscape and deserted, rocky beach on Qatar’s west coast.

When in Qatar, don’t miss an opportunity to visit Ras Abrouq, an isolated region on the west coast known for its lunar-like, limestone landscape and pristine beach. While the isolated, wind-sculpted rock formations may feel miles away, it’s just an hour’s drive from a stay in Doha.

Make the trip to Ras Abrouq, in the Zikrit region, for its mesmerizing natural beauty, unspoiled beaches and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Coastal camping is popular here, thanks to the natural shelter provided by the massive rocks.

Climb around on the cliffs and ridges created by the monolithic mushroom-shaped rocks and enjoy views for miles.

Explore nearby abandoned forts, as well as a wild deer reserve, a great place to see Qatar’s national animal, the Arabian oryx.

For a ghost town vibe, visit nearby Film City, a deserted fishing village turned movie set in the style of a traditional Arabic village. Look for mud-brick houses, a mosque, bridges, towers and more to explore. Climb to the highest lookout point to take photos of the vast, empty desert surrounding the site.

The rocky and remote Ras Abrouq Beach is a Zikrit region highlight for its striking quietness. Doha residents flock here on weekends for barbecues and camping on a break from city life.

Find Ras Abrouq on the Qatari peninsula northeast of Dukhan. Visits require a four-wheel drive vehicle. There are no facilities or nearby towns, so travel with plenty of water, food and gas.
