Qatar Sand Dune

Last weekend, I finally gather enough people to go for a safari trip after being at Qatar for over a year. Mainly hard to find my friends to go with is because many of them fear death. There has been a lot of death in desert safari especially among young Qatari. Somehow tour desert safari are much safer than the stunt done by those young Qatari. Many young Qatari race their Land Cruiser in the desert the moment they obtain their driving license but tour desert safari are driven by professional.

Well I would recommend anyone who are in any desert to go for sand dune bashing. Is trilling, is scary and most of the time is fun.........  We took the trip from a local tour QIA. It cost us about QR 250/pax after very hard negotiation.. The driver name is Salem, he is independent driver who work part time for QIA where is day job he is an accountant.. :P and he speak good English.

We speed off from our pick up point about 140 km/h towards sealine and there is where he deflate the tire to get better grip on the sand. From there the sand dune bashing start and it is about 30 minutes... we took a few deep plunge.... and is crazy... everyone laugh when we are back on the ground.. maybe because the car didn't flip over .. :P

Part of the package is they will stop at the beach close Saudi Arabia  and have lunch.. The lunch was so so which I could had at any Arabic shop in Doha. Well to summarize all here are some of the pic I took.
