Day 3
Doha, Half-day Zubarah & Purple Island Tour
After breakfast, meet your guide in the hotel lobby and get ready to step back in time and unwind in nature. Your journey begins with a drive to Al Zubarah Fort, a majestic desert fortress rising from the sand in the quiet northwest corner of Qatar. Once a thriving pearl diving and trade town, Zubarah was so important that it made the UNESCO World Heritage list. Explore the well-preserved fort, walk along its thick walls, and imagine life in the 18th century when merchants from across the Gulf passed through its bustling port.
Next, your adventure slows down at the peaceful haven of Purple Island, just outside the town of Al Khor. This coastal gem, surrounded by mangroves and tidal inlets, earned its name from the ancient purple dye once produced here—used in royal garments by civilizations over 3,000 years ago. Stroll along wooden walkways, listen to the gentle rustle of reeds, and spot migratory birds, tiny crabs, and even jumping fish in the shallows. It’s a serene escape from the city, perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a breath of fresh air.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel, then enjoy some leisure time before heading out for a truly unforgettable experience. In the late afternoon, depart for the Al Thakira Mangroves, located just north of Al Khor—a striking contrast to Qatar’s desert dunes. These coastal mangrove forests are among the oldest and largest natural ecosystems in the country, offering a glimpse into a side of Qatar many travelers miss.
Once you arrive, meet your expert kayaking guide and receive a brief orientation. Then set off into the peaceful, shallow waters in your kayak, gliding through narrow natural channels surrounded by dense greenery. The mangroves are not only beautiful—they play a vital role in the environment by protecting the coastline from erosion and serving as a breeding ground for fish and birds. Keep your eyes open for herons, flamingos, reef fish, and even crabs scuttling through the roots.
As the sun begins to dip, the scene turns magical—rays of orange and gold filter through the trees, the water glows with the reflection of the sky, and the calls of birds echo through the quiet. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, the sunset kayaking tour offers both relaxation and adventure, all in one of Qatar’s most unique natural settings.
