foolish said I heard there's a coral reef somewhere in Dukhan... ...

but I don't know the exact location...

That's why I asked...

 

joeinqatar said been snorkeling at dukhan ...

been snorkeling at dukhan off the beach and in zekreet off the kayak was ok at both places. I think Fuwairit would be nice. also the national park off the north coast would be good to check out sometime

 

ndglc said More places for snorkeling ...

Hi Guys,
Nice to have the locations for snorkeling. Is anyone able to be more precise and give exact locations. I know the time is close to be over this year due to gelly fishs. Anyway, please advice the best locations to snorkel.
Thanks in advance for your answers

I went snorkelling two days ago off the coast of Dukhan, about 2 km to the right of the Water Sports Club, near to the Desalination plant. Some massive rocks and colourless coral but there were quite a few different types of fish there, including some HUGE angel fish, very very nice spot. and yes... the jelly fish are here now!!!

Best places are Fuwarait beach - swim striaght out and there are lots of corals, different fish, sea greass beds and sea snakes. If your really lucky turtles.

Anywhere north of Ras Laffan should be good.

I was at Umm Tais Natural Reserves (mentioned in post above - turn right at Al-Shammal and head east, first island is Ras Rakkan and is harder to get to, go past until a hamlet and past this you can access Umm Tais) a few weeks ago, interesting place but Fuwarait is easier to get to etc.

"Sandy" beach we used to go to, Al-Dhakriah mangroves.

There is generally less to see on west coast than the east coast unless you go to places near construction which for the east coast is now a lot!! Hence i recommend French beach / fuwarait.

There are also a few nice locations you can snorkell in the inland sea, although currents at certain times are very very strong. GO past coastguard station at mouth and head along towards Saudi until you see obvious shallows.
