Zekreet Beach is a hidden gem on Qatar’s western coast, located about 90 kilometers from Doha. Surrounded by dramatic limestone formations and desert landscapes, this beach offers a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquility, perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape away from the city.
The beach is popular for camping, photography, and stargazing, thanks to its remote setting and minimal light pollution. Its calm, shallow waters are suitable for swimming, and the golden sand makes it ideal for picnics and beach games. Visitors often explore the nearby rock formations, Zekreet Fort ruins, and the iconic Richard Serra sculpture in the area.
Zekreet Beach has no built-in facilities, so visitors should come prepared with their own food, water, and camping gear. The surrounding desert scenery adds to the beach’s charm, making it a must-visit for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
