Sure come to Qatar now and have a beach holiday. COME NOW! the weather is perfect ! You can go home with your own burned skin perfect for premalignant melanomas!
It's too hot now but around Easter it's perfect, especially if you pick a nice hotel with a good beach. I prefer staying in Doha to Dubai for short breaks except for the disgraceful taxi system here. Why would a tourist want to wait 15 days and 6 hours for a taxi?
There is plenty to do and most of it is free. The exchange rate is not on your side at the moment though, last summer it was 7.8QR to the £, now 5.8QR. Still, eating out is relatively cheap and you will feel genuinely safe going out and about, very little crime means that you can really explore.
If you're looking for that paradise vibe, well you got.. French Polynesia like BoraBora island, Palau; St John in Virgin Islands, or anywhere in the Carribean Islands; Seychelles island, El Nido in Philippines.
Done Australia, NZ and a few islands down there, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, just fancied trying somewhere different and interesting I guess... :-)
Yes, Qatar during winter..ride the dunes and then camp at night. But why have you been looking at Qatar insearch of a beach holiday? How many days do you have and how big is the budget? Why not fly across the continent?
a relaxing beach holiday is just not the in thing to do this summer, that is, if you are here in Doha... you won't even last one minute under the scorching rays of the sun... 50+ degrees, ouuch you'll be a burnt toast... :P
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

The French Riviera is the best. Rent a car...drive to different beaches every day. It's amazing. Flying into Nice or Marseille will get you there.
the beaches here are definitely a no-no during june,july and august.try to stay indoors....
Uk.. They were wise there atleast lol

Viet and Cam were side orders when I took in Thai (not alot of beach I must admit).
Thanks for the recommends, I shall take a gander tonight at work...til then, bed and sweet dreams of honey sandwiches.
Ignorance is bliss
Weird choice for a beach holiday...Vietnam and Cambodia? Seriously? By the way, Thai and Bali are overrated.
The choices I gave earlier I recommend because it's either I've been to those places or my friends have..and they're the really good ones.
I'll certainly look at St John as it was one of the places I was thinking of and you mentioned it too.

Yeah, 40 is about my limit, maybe visit Qatar in the winter and enjoy the crisp frosty nights. :-)

What an interesting choice for a beach holiday. People would usually go to the islands and then some..
Oh wait, unless you're already in the gulf and you don't want to go across the continent for a glimps of the seashore...
This was not very helpful-- sorry.
Good luck with your query!
