Is a full-on 4x4 really necessary?

Can't decide whether to get caught up in the moment and empty my pockets on a full-on 4x4 (i.e. Prado/Pathfinder/Xterra/FJ Cruiser etc) or stay sane and go for something smaller (Sportage/Tucson etc).

Won't be doing heavy or regular off-roading, but I do want to be able to go to the Inland Sea whenever I want. Question is.....will the sensible option be able to handle it across the dunes?

A good off-road driver will never advise/suggest you to buy Korean 4 x 4 especially if you plan to go to Inland sea. Korean cars are plastic toys and will breakdown after 3 or 4 trips to Inland sea. Toyota Land cruiser or Nissan patrol is the first choice, you can also consider Pajero.

You call the small 4x4s (Prado/Pathfinder/Xterra/FJ Cruiser etc) "Full-On"???

You should get a real "Full-On" 4x4 just for Doha's Road... I LandCruiser, Nissan Patrol, RangeRover, Hummer, ...
