Zekreet Beach (also known as Ras Abrouq Beach) shows nature at its most picturesque. The limestone escarpment featuring cliffs, pillars, and rocks makes the topography unusual. The sedimentary rocks along the shoreline and huge mushroom shaped structures made from limestone offer an arresting and ethereal site.

We had great tour with Rizwan as our guide. He was on time, informative, attentive, kind and polite. He even played the Arabic music we requested! Nice getaway from the city.
Muhamed was super, very friendly and informative. Always happy to. He knew a lot and he went into everyone.
Great experience and variety of sights, and perfect timing. Rehan was excellent! Interesting historical context and sights.
We had a nice drive to the Western end of Qatar. Saw the camel race tracks on the way which was quite a unique experience, specially the while conceptvof robots riding them. Our guide Rehan Butt did a very decent job of showing us around the rock formations, literally right in the middle of nowhere. This was followed by a drive to Zekreet which again was very pleasant Nice, peaceful visit
Visit and super interesting landscape. Our guide Noor was a great host who gave us a lot of information about the Qatari culture and way of life. Highly recommended
We really enjoyed the tour with Mr. suliman khan’s guide. He gave us detailed explanations about entire Doha city. He always considered and cared about if we enjoyed the tour, and of course we did! :) His punctuality and hospitality mind were wonderful. Thank you very much for the best experience in Qatar!
Mr. suliman khan was our guide. I took my elderly mother with me, and she was a very kind guide who cared about me throughout, which was really helpful. I also liked the fact that it showed me the choice of destination. Thank you very much. It is a view that can only be seen if you come to Qatar, so I recommend it to everyone.
Noor is an excellent guide and gives interesting explanations about the history of Qatar and its West Coast. Very nice excursion to Western Qatar.
I did the activity with the guide Muhammad, who drove very well, passed a lot of interesting information and had a lot of patience with me, since I am one of those people who likes to take a lot of photos and ends up making the tour longer.
On 28.11.2025 we decided to take a tour of the west coast of Qatar. Our tour guide Ahmad picked us up from the hotel and headed west. The first place we visited was the Brook Reserve. There, in the middle of the desert landscape, the internationally renowned artist Richard Serra is building the sculpture “East-West/West-East”. Standing next to the four steel plates, one feels small. We also managed to see the huge mushroom-shaped structures characteristic of this area. The film city was a place we wanted to visit. We managed to get there after a long journey. To visit it, it is necessary to purchase tickets on site or online for 50 QAR per person. It is open for visits from 26.11.2025 to 17.01.2026. Entering the city, the organizers welcome guests in a traditional way. The atmosphere inside is authentic. A female ensemble performs folk songs. Wild animals, camels and other animals are offered to be seen in the area. An open-top safari in the local area is offered. Our guide Ahmad also took us to the camel track. There were no races, but we were able to see where they are held when there are. The west coast is interesting and worth seeing. Thank you to Golden Adventures. Thank you to our guide Ahmad for his diligence and attention to us all the time. Hristo and Tsveti, Sofia, Bulgaria
