star gazing

Are there any amateur astronomers out there taking advantage of early dark hours and the clear desert sky? Anyone aware of an astronomy club in Doha? How far would one have to travel out of Doha to get some decent dark skies for star gazing? Any info would be appreciated. I'm not in qatar at the moment but could be soon.

There is a club I know. That is located at a deserted area in Industrial area's main market square. All the member gather there on friday nights for star gazing. it is about 20km from Doha. When u come here go there it is very easy to find. See you Soon
