What are the beaches like around Qatar? Is the water safe to swim in? what is the official stance regarding "wild camping"?

there is always a chance anywhere you are but I think you will be ok in the backcountry here just be careful around the dunes south of sealine. there is "wild peole" there. I was almost ran over while hiking along the beach and had to head into the water.

i knw what you mean by wild camping. we've been doing that back in my country. i wanted to try here but i heard from other folks that it is not safe here. specially in the middle of the dessert, not for wild animals but for wild people.huhuh is that true?

alot of the beaches have trash and broken glass, even seen a car or two in the water. but water is safe just very salty. camping anywhere you want like mila says. I have not found any place that sells quality camping gear here in doha. so bring it with ya.
