Zekreet Beach

Zekreet Beach (also known as Ras Abrouq Beach) shows nature at its most picturesque. The limestone escarpment featuring cliffs, pillars, and rocks makes the topography unusual. The sedimentary rocks along the shoreline and huge mushroom shaped structures made from limestone offer an arresting and ethereal site.  

How to get there?

  • Zekreet Beach is about 90 km from Doha. Take the road to Dukhan for 80 km and turn right at the Zekreet junction. It is possible to drive in a standard car, however a 4x4 would be more comfortable.
