Singing Dunes
Hello All, and especially to those I met for the first time / again yesterday on the day trip to Fuwairit.
I still have my dad over and we want to go to visit the singing dunes in the next couple of days, is there anyone who would be able to join? and is there anyone who can point me in the right direction? I don't know if it is safe to go alone or how far from the road it is.

Singing Dunes Directions ...The Singing Sand Dunes is where Dunestock is held, so for some good directions to the place, visit their website:
http://www.dunestock...
You don't have to have a 4x4 to get there as long as you don't try to drive up the dunes. The area around them is hard, flat and slightly rocky.
The only problem getting there now is the darn road construction.

I believe the current ...I believe the current closure of Salwa Road may affect your ability to follow the normal directions to the Singing Sand Dunes, though it may still be possible to get there from that direction.
However, I went last week via Al Wakra which didn't take much longer. Directions as follows;
- Drive to Al Wakra from Doha as normal
- In Al Wakra go RIGHT at the round-about with the huge shell on it
- Go LEFT at the next round-about
- Go RIGHT at the next round-about
- Continue on this road for several kms (you'll pass through the village of Al Wukair)
- Go LEFT at the large round-about (the road splits into two lanes as you approach this round-about)
- After ~3.4km take the road on your RIGHT (signed to a QP facility)
- After you cross the bridge over some pipes take the road to your left
- Leave the road just before the 2nd speed bump after the bridge, heading right towards the sand dunes (warning, it's off road so best in a 4x4, otherwise park up and walk)
Enjoy the sand dunes. They were singing better than ever when we were there!

Don't ...forget that you have to walk down them to get them "singing"
tallg said
Yes, good point dweller! My ...Yes, good point dweller!
My Mum found the best way was to slide down on her bum, though I preferred the running method!
We also found that just starting a large sand slide from the top was enough to get them singing.

LOL ...I remember one bloke coming back complaining that they didn't sing.
He thought they did it all on their own

One other thing - watch out ...One other thing - watch out for all the broken glass and empty bottles lying around among all the other rubbish. Unfortunately many people don't treat the area with the respect it deserves.
Perhaps the next QL day out could be a litter-picking trip to the dunes!

Thanks ...Thanks a lot guys, especially tallg for the detailed directions, I will post tomorrow if I get there ok, lol.
Absolutejaguar said
Made it ...Thanks again people who posted, we drove down there and had a great time, they were singing lovely. The day was hot and it's hard work climbing those Dunes. If QL Social group are going I would recomend an evening when it is a little cooler, also means you can go straight home for a shower or a bath, we got sand everywhere, lol.
I highly recomend going and it's not difficult you can drive on the rocky ground all the way up to the foot of the Dunes.
