Itinerary
Day 1
Pick-up in Doha, transfer to the Sealine / Mesaieed desert area and safety briefing before the desert activities begin.
Pickup & safety briefing — Doha (meet point)
Meet at a central Doha pickup point. Short briefing, safety checks and depart for Mesaieed/Sealine area.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready 5–10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time; guides will confirm pickup location in advance.
- Bring your passport or ID during pickup for check-in with the operator if requested.
- Wear lightweight layers—mornings can be cool but temperatures rise quickly in the desert.
Transfer — Doha to Sealine / Mesaieed
Private transfer by road from Doha pickup point to the activity base near Sealine Beach Road in Mesaieed.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect roughly 40–50 minutes drive time each way depending on traffic; use the restroom before departure.
- Keep personal belongings in a secure small bag; avoid loose items that can blow away in the desert.
- If you get motion-sick, sit toward the front of the vehicle and request a window for fresh air.
Buggy / ATV ride (40 minutes)
Choose between a quad bike or a two-seat buggy (depending on booking option). Guided off-road loop on prepared desert tracks for approx. 40 minutes.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear closed-toe shoes and long trousers to protect against sand and heat from the vehicle.
- Listen carefully to the safety briefing and follow the guide's instructions—speed and route are controlled for groups.
- Secure cameras and phones with straps or leave them with the guide to avoid loss during bumpy sections.
Camel ride, tea & Bedouin tent stop
Short camel ride (photo opportunity), basic tent stop with tea, restroom access and time for photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Mount and dismount camels carefully; follow the handler's instructions—this is usually brief (a few minutes).
- Carry a small bottle of water and drink before the camel ride if the sun is strong.
- Use the tent stop for restroom breaks and shoe/socks adjustment—sand can get into footwear quickly.
Dune bashing & sandboarding
Drive into the higher dunes for a dune bashing run in 4x4 vehicles with scenic photo points, followed by sandboarding practice on gentler slopes.
Tips from local experts:
- Hold on during dune bashing and keep cameras secured—expect steep slopes and sudden vehicle movements.
- Wear sunglasses and a scarf or bandana to protect your face from blowing sand during activity.
- If you plan to sandboard, wear trousers and avoid loose shorts; boards may be waxed by guides for better sliding.
Dune bashing overview & prepare for return
Final short photo stop, tyre inflation and wrap-up. Prepare for transfer back to Doha.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow time to brush sand from clothing and secure belongings before boarding the return vehicle.
- Ask staff to help re-inflate tyres if you notice low pressure; this is a standard part of desert operations.
- Keep a dry small towel or wipes handy to clean hands/face before getting back into the vehicle.
Return transfer to Doha (end of activity)
Private transfer back to the original Doha pickup point; program concludes on arrival in Doha.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect around 35–40 minutes return drive; use this time to rest and remove excess sand from clothing.
- Keep any valuables with you during the return; double-check the vehicle before leaving.
- If you booked multiple people, confirm the hotel drop-off address in advance with the guide.
