Hi fellow QLs ...

Have u guys ever noticed that each time they have closed some beach or the other and made up some resort or something ??? For example ... first the Doha club beach ... turned into Sharq Village ... then Wakra beach gonna be converted to some tourist resort and now the Intercon beach recently shut completely ... whats wrong with these people here ?? No more beach for the common people ?? or all to join the clubs to enjoy swimming ?? Or is it just gonna be work and home ?? Whats gonna be next Ummsaid ?? :(

Regards ....

Just FYI Islam actually recommends swimming highly. Such that the Prophet even advised “Teach your children swimming, archery and horse-riding.” Totally halal!

I think the authorities are doing the right thing..

Last thing we need is expats in speedos wandering the beach ..

I think the authorities should provide Public Beaches like in Dubai and maintain them also.

The beaches might have been destroyed by all the trash people left. (see my recent post).

Back in the Netherlands we have some very nice public beaches which are government maintained and a lot of people enjoy them en the summer.

Hopefully some beaches will still be open this weekend as I have been planning to go.

Be safe all

Not only beaches, many commercial and residential areas were demolished in past.

There are other beaches outside Doha if you want to camp out there.
