The popularity of jet skiing in Qatar is no mystery. In a country that prizes its horses and cars so highly, the craze for jet skiing is an inevitability, even during the jelly fish season. Kayaking, boat cruises and fishing trips are all well and good, but jet skiing provides a different, accelerating sort of thrill.

The jet ski was invented by a Norwegian-American in the 1960s, who happened to be a motorcycle racer and enthusiast (no surprises there) that wanted to create a “motorcycle for the water”.

The best part is you don’t need to buy these to have your fun. They may be rented at numerous resorts dotted along the coast, including Sealine and Simaisma. However thrilling the activity may be, it is important to keep safety as a priority, especially since a jet ski is impossible to steer if the throttle is left off. This may happen due to a sudden surprise, and most accidents related to jet skis transpire because of this occurrence. Having someone along who is aware of safety measures is always a good idea.
