Hello,

I am planning a trip to Al Khor Island. However, I do not have a SUV (I drive a sedan VW Passat).

Will I have any problems navigating in the area?

Thanks.

Britexpat: I believe there is a shallow river bed which you can traverse across by foot to get to the island (at least this is what the website says!).

Silly question, but doesn't an island have water around it ?

Thanks all, I'll give it a go! Any other notable "desert activities" I should try out?
