It is considered the desert marvel of Qatar, Khor Al Udeid is 78 km away south-east of Doha. By daybreak it becomes much more like a resort on the shore of a lake, as the tide water advances on the land to form what is known as “internal sea”. By nightfall the sea recedes and the place becomes again a barren piece of land with its striking sand dunes of different sizes. The moonlight and glittering stars create a sense of eternity. Each time the sun rises or sets the sand dunes glitter in a wonderful array of colors. Khor Al Udeid can be reached by a four – wheel car in a trip that reminds you of a safari. Once there, you have a number of options: to dip yourself in water, or climb to the top of a sand dune or do some sand skating.
