Why this trip
Half an hour north of Doha, Qatar changes its face: mangroves instead of high-rises, water instead of concrete. Al Khor is the place for families who want to spend a day outdoors without travelling far. Al Thakira Mangroves Forest Beach can be explored by kayak, a quiet wetland for parents with older children. Katara Cultural Village on the waterfront has an amphitheatre, a museum and a convention centre, and the promenade is lively in the evening.
Al Khor Family Park & Zoo offers lawns and small animals, and Purple Island Beach has the sandy shore. Dahl Al Misfir is a natural spot that travellers use for a quiet walk. Two houses from the hotel list are the InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa and the Fuwairit Kite Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. Qatar is most pleasant in winter, from November to April.
Doha, Lusail and Al Wakrah are the neighbours, each a short drive away. If you stay in Al Khor, you should schedule prayer times and lunch so that the kayak day does not fall in the midday heat.
