Top Places to Visit in Dukhan
Beaches
Just about the only thing worth seeing in the city,
popular with swimmers and surfers alike. Although the Dukhan Water Sports Club
is closed to non-QP guests, the beaches directly north and south of it are open
to the general public. The beaches are sandy but swimmers should beware of
sharp rocks under the water. 200m off of the southern beach is a rocky reef
which is good for snorkeling. Many locals also visit the beach for a picnic
with their families.
Zekreet
This is an ancient village with historic ties to Bahrain,
set in a rugged landscape. On the small hill by the village are prehistoric
graves cut from the bedrock, and on surrounding hilltops the remains of burial
mounds from the Dilmun culture can be seen. Toward the beach are the excavated
foundations of an 18th-century fort, as well as the remains of ‘madabes’, small
buildings used for making ‘debis’, a traditional date-based food. The shallow
inlet here is popular with kite surfers. Explore

Ras Abruq Peninsula (rough dirt track 10 km north of
Zekrit). A large building once used as the film set for a Qatar TV series. A
small ‘village’ is located 1 km to the north. The entire peninsula has now been
classified as a nature reserve, and you may see ostriches, gazelle, and foxes.
Fossilized seaweed and shells can be found on some of the rocky outcrops. Free,
but a tip for the resident caretaker is advised.
