What the spot record warns about

  • Remote, undeveloped coastline with limited facilities and services.
  • Rocky/mesa terrain inlandRocky limestone formations and uneven desert access roads around Ras Abrouq/Zekreet.
  • Remote public beach with limited facilities. Bring what you need, and expect no lifeguard: none is posted at most free beaches in Qatar.
  • Shallow muddy bottom. Check the tide height before riding or teaching.
  • Heat risk in summer: the Qatar summer runs June-September and can reach 45 C or higher.
