Desert Ship Adventures
Popular trips in the vast Qatar Valley. Camel riding is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Qatar. It is known that each desert resembles the other in Qatar, each characterized by different terrain. The south-west of Doha is rich in sand dunes that spring from slippery grains on the slopes, which make the sound echo for many miles, while the west coast is characterized by huge formations of limestone rock.
One of the most exciting places to see the demand for camel travel is the Khor, or the so-called "Inland Sea", or Khor al-Udeid, a UNESCO-recognized site, south of the city, one of the few places in the world where the sea crosses into the desert. Visitors can make a delightful desert safari trip over the sand dunes to this accessible location by SUVs.
Desert adventures are a favorite Gulf and Qatari pastime, with visitors enjoying camping trips in the morning, the evening, or overnight through one of the many companies running Bedouin-style camps (with all the conveniences) in the desert.
Keshta and Safari
Kishta is a land or sea picnic, a tradition in the Gulf States that consists of literature councils where poems containing rulings and advice are recited. The poems tell stories, genealogies, and the biographies of Arabs, which revive in souls their morals and their utopias.
Burning fire is considered an essential part of the diaspora, and is not linked to lighting or warmth, but rather to the place where friends and family gather around it to walk and exchange conversation and to cook Qatari coffee, which expresses hospitality. The "Dallah" in its distinctive form has become a symbol of hospitality and generosity, grinding fresh coffee and then adding the hull to it, and performing in small cups that the guest would take with his right hand, the host continues to pour coffee so that the guest can point his satisfaction by moving the cup gently and left.
Qatar seeks to optimize its tourism production by attracting 5.3 million tourists by 2023 and achieving a 72% occupancy rate in hotel facilities by increasing demand and diversifying the country's tourism accommodation options.
Islamic architecture

M. with any symbol of the State of Qatar. The museum draws its influence from Islamic architecture. The building consists of limestone that reflects the changes in light and converts it into multiple shades that vary as the daylight hours progress. Engineering patterns of the Muslim world decorate the museum's space and show the enormity of the building from within.
"Situated in the Lake West Gulf, the Katara Cultural District is also a microcosm of the Middle East and North Africa, and while mimicking the Arab and Islamic architectural model, it reflects the rich diversity of the most delicious dishes and dishes that characterize different countries."
