"Where is the best beach in Qatar? Maybe a silent and romantic bay? Where to go for it?"

----I have seen some nice beaches here, but none of them is good to "go for it"----
:P

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

did you treat the fish well though ????

yeah Zyga we had a great time :(((((
no withnail you dont need a 4X4 you just keep on driving in a straight line from doha and you will be there, very simple, I also found the beach ok, (inspite of the fact that my only company was a a dead fish :((()

Dont know about the best beach but I go to the Wakrah beach every midnight and sit there and feel the cool ocean breeze, the smell of the rotting fish nearby,
see the people driving by and flashing their cars, hear the waves striking the shore, gaze at the twinkling stars and feel like a king (make sure to turn off your cellphone)

:D lol, if only the dead fish knew how famous will it become....

couple of years back the russian troupe came to doha. it was probably the month of november and was still sunny and shiny not like russia. So they went to the beach next to the old Doha Club and were sunbathing (by wearing bikinis and shorts). It was friday and someone saw them there and called all his friends. Within no time there were like 1000 people all around their beach chairs and watching them with hungry eyes and open mouths with dripping saliva. The police had to be called in and they took the the performers to a safe location.

This was narrated by one of my friends to me.

Wouldn't have a clue!!!!! Maybe when i get there i'll be able to tell you.

I found this beach a few weeks ago and it is the best place I have been in Qatar. The beach is surrounded by rocks that jut out over the water on one side and when the tide is low it is the perfect place for a romantic picnic. The water is clear and is shallow for a few meters out. The beach is clean and the best thing is that there is never anyone out there. The first time I went there was a middle adged couple and that was it. The other two times we were the only ones there. It was nice b/c like someone else commented...it's not fun to go to beaches where the guys stared you down like a piece of meat. This beach is great. Here are the directions (I got them from teh Marhaba information guide and they worked for me)

"Using Landmark Mall as a starting point, take Al Shamal (north) road, past Al Khor turn off and continue for a further 44 km. Take a right turn at the Fuwairit sign, along a surfaced road towards a small village (the road has tons of pot holes so be careful) As you reach the outskirts of the town, turn left onto a rough track running parallel with the coast. Drive for approximately 1.5 km along the small dune edging the beach."

You will be able to take your car out to the beach but you won't be able to get that close. You will have to climb up over the rocks and then over to the beach. If you take a 4WD vehicle, you can get right up to the beach.

Hope someone takes my advice and visits this place b/c it is so beautiful.

The first time I went there was around 9 or 10 a.m. and the tide was low. You can go out pretty far without it getting deep at all. I felt like I was going and going and it was still only to my waist (I'm 5'4). The water got more rough the farther I went out but it wasn't too bad. Also the water is VERY salty so it help keep you afloat big time. Still I brought an inner tube with me and just floated on that mostly. The next time I went was at 4 a.m. and the tide was up far onto the beach and rocks so waiting until a bit later is better. I went a third time around 11 a.m and the tide was a bit higher than the first time I went so I guess it changes a lot. Ok, after I wrote all that down it seems as though my times were not much help. I guess go around 8 a.m. Bring a floaty and you should be fine. ;)

guys how long does it take to drive from doha to fuwairit? and if i do go alone and have a breakdown, does enough traffic pass to ensure some sort of recovery or will i be royally done? appreciate comments. K

ok will do. looks like a potential good climbing spot.. will need to check it out. thanks

This was called plage 44. It means 44 kms north from the exchange to khor on the old north road.

It means you turn off the north road, 44 kms after the Khor exchange and then drive towards the water. There was a small village, contour that and you will get to the beach. It has been around 10years since I was there last, things can have changed....

For your info on the French beach and in Al Udied are spots where you can find cockles (vongole) for a good spaghetti dinner!. Fun to do with the kids. They are just under the sand. However if you use them for the spaghetti, you need to put them soaking in water untill they have spat out the sand, (rinse several times). If you do them on the BBQ, no need as they will spit out the sand while cooking. Bon Appetit.
