Qatar despite its majorly desert landscape is heaven for thrill seekers and adventure sports lovers. The local government’s commitment towards recreational and sporting activities has led to the formation of world-class venues and facilities.

Dune bashing or desert safari is a popular adventure sport in desert nations like Qatar. You can take your prick when it comes to vehicles and go with 4x4s, dune buggies or dirt bikes. On a proper guided tour you will be climbing the highest of dunes and then quickly dropping into the pit below. This activity offers a high adrenaline rush. Sandboarding is another sport exclusive to desert areas. You can cruise down slopes at amazing speeds using nothing but a board.

Kite and windsurfing are popular activities along the coastline as the shallow waters and consistent winds provide endless opportunities. There are training outfits that can help you get started as well. Other adventurous coastal escapades include jet skiing, scuba diving, wakeboarding and kayaking. However, you can also go kayaking in the mangrove forests.

Once you take to the skies you can skydive, paraglide and parasail. Experienced thrill junkies will need hand holding but if you are new you can take a quick training session and give it your best shot.
