wow , i never expect tht these pictures r of Qatar... hmmm my husband didnt even mention ths place bfore.. hmm thnks khattak..

now its my turn 2 beg my hubbby 2 c tht .... thanks again....

Let me repost my earlier comment...

Once you join Dukhan/Sahahniya Highway.....the Exit to Zikreet old village would come at around 80Kms from Doha. Take enough food & drinks/water with you before going into the desert area. You can find some shops just before the Flyover/Exit on the left side.

Its mostly a rocky area having sand in patches.....so even a Saloon Car can make it, but an SUV (4X4) would be ideal.

Right Turn at the Flyover from Dukhan Highway to Zikreet:

25 26' 18"N

50 51' 54"E

Film City:

25 34' 41"N

50 50' 46"E

...listen to the sound of silence....

My home is inside of those caves.

Very nice khattak..i like to visit places like this ..lovely pictures..!!!

Never heard of this place before..Post some pictures of yours to prove you really were there..lol

ghazalz & marie_2... Thanks for the encouragement :-)

The Pictures are Of Course not copy righted :D ... so carry on with saving these :-) ..... It would be my pleasure :-)

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Key to Success, Someone Steals it.

So that place is called Zikreet. After Dukhan. Joined a tour before, and have same photos. Yours is better, though.

Thanks, i'm saving some :)

...listen to the sound of silence....

KHATTAK! May I copy some of your photos?

Zikreet... Never heard before...

It's a wonderful place & the pictures are amazing... Wind & Water have done a wonderful job on the Rocks!

You summed up your visit very well and you know How to draw attraction!

I would love to visit there.

I've visited Aspire park too after watching your posted pictures of the place.

Thanks for sharing!

saurabh.doha....sure, it would be a pleasure to have you & other fellows being a part of our future plans. If you wish to see the Fuwairit Pics....just click here:

http://www.qatarliving.com/node/847168

That was one of our Pukhtoon Group's Picnic to Fuwairit Beach :-)

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Key to Success, Someone Steals it.

this place is in a transformer movie! wow!

saurabh.doha.....I believe the best white sand beach for a picnic is Fuwairit Beach towards North of Qatar. Al-Ghariya is also one of the better ones.....just 5 kms ahead of Fuwairit beach.

KHATTAK, me too would like to join you for the inland sea trip with one of my cousin (he is here for two week only). I will have my own car to accommodate a couple of guys if interested.

i live around the corner,, might go and have a look myself!! yes the film set is meant to be a nice place to visit, sunset photos will also look good, i saw lots of pink,orange and yellow colours yesterday.

it was a typing mistake.

i was on the back benches, but don't know who was on the right of the front seat .....lol

that one was destroyed in the movie...this one looks very neat...

eychseeay....it may be just a rumour but what I've heard is that there was a scene from the movie Transformer 2 pictured at this location. If you've seen the movie...it has shown Qatar & the American Base here...so it may have some truth in it. But dont know exactly :-)

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Kay to Success, Someone Steals it.

just heard zikreet from QL. nice to know another place in Qatar. but i don't think i wanna go there. looks scary. anyway, why is film city called with such name?

DotCom.... You Traitor!!! You are dropped out of my next trip to the Inland Sea :(

Once again, I must warn everyone: Sharks and Wolves.

It's dangerous territory. Under the milky surface of that water are man eating preditors, unrecognised as yet by scientists but thought to be akin to the Loch Ness Monster after a 6 month detox, starved of p*rk, human flesh, or the whiff of new blood. ((Or Quorn sausages and Heinz spaghetti.. hem- anyway..))

..Not only that, several stray- and long since astranged female Dukhanites have been said to have been spotted roaming in the wilderness of those hazy dunes singing a siren lament which is fabled to lure unsuspecting Dohaite males to their doom.

And don't even get me started on the wolves.

Not a good idea. Zikreet is a Menace.

;)

Da..... Ostriches are no more there :( .... That National Park is kind of abandoned now :(

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Kay to Success, Someone Steals it.

very nice...:)

i've to disagree with you for putting my name in the list, DaRuDe is absoloutely right ;)

will u please tell me what the exact location is and if i'll go there,what should be ready for?

thanks a lot!

Khattak nyc pics. could u plz guide me where's that place .

Brilliant photographs, thank you for sharing these with us :-)

*****If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all*****

one to remember ... kind of cold in the morning and everyone was afraid that it would rain. We all were early on QL, before leaving to the meeting point and guess what? It starts raining, Drude, are we still going or shall we call the day off? Nahhhh we will just go even if storms will hit the roads not rain only.

Nice and beautiful beach it was, we did the Monkey thingy after we played some sort of weird Volleyball ... Some run to the cars when it starts to rain again there, it was so cold but staying close to friends and the fire make it all good ...

Miss those days ...

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)

Thank you all for liking it.

painther... a full day trip would be better to see all the places there.....Navigator would be of a great help, you can also use your mobile GPS if supported by your phone.

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Kay to Success, Someone Steals it.

Khanan.....I mailed you the pics same night...check your email box :D

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Kay to Success, Someone Steals it.

I will add it to one of my places to visit

very nice pics..

me in the post...:)

I cannot see the pic in office, will log in from home to seeit for myself.

or else send me on my email.

Good Photos Khattak...the film city looks like Souk Wakief cafes...lol

The greenery is there due to pure water body near by (not the sea)...underground!

Darude, thanks for the tip, i will try to google it in the meanwhile...

So, an evening can be planned there, say from 2 pm to sunset, few hours of site seeing and a few for sea shores....

it was indeed in my list to visit places; now you have priotized it with cool pics :)- :D

Did you know that Qatar is one of the countries in the world that does not have fresh surface water! probably might be the only country. No wonder it is referred to as the barren peninsula..

Yep Qatar is Beautiful??

-----------------

Can We Fix It?

Yes We Can!

painther, yeah it was really tempting to me as well when I was navigating through Google Earth and noticed this area :-)

Film City is in a very deserted area...encountered only two Sudani Guys who were probably there to look after the place. I guess, not too many people know about the place, probably that's why didnt see much tourists there.

Though there were a few groups of Westerners along the sea.....camping & kite surfing but through the middle, you would hardly see anyone for hours :D

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Kay to Success, Someone Steals it.

Nice Pics, khattak

Tempting :)- place to visit;

why "film city" is so "veeran"?

X-Ray.....will surely call you the next time I go anywhere. By the way, my next program is to the Inland Sea (Khor al Udaid)....and I'll try to make it before the summer takes over :D

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Kay to Success, Someone Steals it.

Thanks all for liking the pictures....it was indeed a wonderful experience. I wish we could have more time to see the entire area.....but days are shorter nowadays :(

DaRuDe.....Shhhh, I've blocked QL at home on IE & myself browse through Apple Safari....my better half doesn't know about Safari ;)

And.....I never knew you would be interested to go there again....otherwise I would've loved to have you with us...I guess you can be a really good guide of Qatar ;)

I asked Khanan though....but he was on Official Duty, you know :D

------------------------------------------------------Whenever I find the Kay to Success, Someone Steals it.

at 2am all you will meet is ghosts there and jins no one else.

if interested will schedule a meeting tonight.

DA..I said something more :) you didnt meet me there at 2.00 am then how will I comment mroe...
