Official website

From the airport

Most visitors fly into Doha's international airport and drive south to Mesaieed, which takes about an hour by taxi, ride-hailing car or rental car.

Getting around

There is no practical public transport to the resort, so plan on a rental car, taxi or ride-hailing app, and leave the dunes to a 4x4 with an experienced driver.

Local tips

Swimwear is fine on the beach and at the pools, but cover shoulders and knees elsewhere, including in Mesaieed and Doha.
The resort has separate family and bachelor pools, so check which one applies to your group.
Weekends (Friday and Saturday) are busy with residents, so book chalets and safaris ahead.
From May to September daytime heat goes above 40°C, so do outdoor activities early or late in the day and carry water.
