Pajju, Can you turn your head 360 degrees. Oh I forgot Indians have this ECNR stamp on their passport, which exempts them from having to undress in a nude beach!

but exclusively for members only. Dress code: 3-parts suit: hat, pair of sunglasses, and flipflops. :)

LOL! Good try, pal. This turned into a rather funny thread. Will see what to do I guess. Empty beaches enough, and different types of swimming wear available as well. Anyway, resorts are out. I don't see myself paying entrace for some 30 minutes of swimming, and then driving on again. Tanning on the beach? With these temperatures? Some people must be crazy!

Oh, and btw guys: Please stop sending me invites. I am married. Happily :D

YEAH OF COURSE THEY CAN GO NAKED AND TAN ALSO AS THEY LIKE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT IN CHARGE IN THE WOMAN LET THEN TO DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT

sunflowergirl you better drop the idea of going to the beach. Take shower home and wear whatever you like.

Look, it is impossible for you

the Only solution you got

step1:

bring 1 kilo of salt

step2:

fill your bathtub

step3:

put the salt inside the bathtub

step4:

bring a heater

step5:

put your sun glasses

step6:

get inside the bathtub

step7 :

Close your eyes and imagine that it is the beach

we recommend the following to bring the reality to your enjoyment :

1-put some see fish 2 to 5 in the bathtub

2-get a poster of a beach and put it in front of you

3- bring some sands and fill the bathroom .

4-try to get some real sound of people playing in the beach "you can get for free from the internet"

Have fun ;)

edifis i am really drunk :) and enjoin rain and thunder :)

So if you don't wanna be photographed too much,wear a bikini.

I like the Inland Sea. But there's a nice one up near Al Khor as well.

edifis u know onethin .. when i was in nude beach n ibiza .. some gals came and told me to be nude .. i told them no sorry i cannot .. :) after they askd me r u indian ? i said yes .. then ok u enjoy us :P

just avoid a very crowdy part of the beach...and just to be on the safe side, not in a bikini. because even if you were in a shorts and shirt, guys will definitely stare. and even snap a picture of you which is really annoying! grrrrrr!

Pajju have u got that disease called neckturnomania.

Gypsy ur fav beach ? :)

You're right edifis, she shouldn't listen to me. She should go to the beaches herself, see for herself and see how she feels comfortable.

Day time at Wakra beach was beautiful for me and my family. Bikini, laughter and lots of sun.

However, stay away at nights!!!! Full of "certain" people who don't give a s**t about what they do. ie Spit, rubbish and completely take over the beach!!!

General rule of thumb in Qatar is not to listen to what people on QL advise you to do. So don't listen to what Gypsy says and don't listen to what the others say.

So the conclusion is:

Do not wear Abaya to beaches

Do not wear T-shirt and shorts.

Do not wear Bikini.

So I would advise you to go naked!

But follow the thumbrule and do not listen to me too!

even men go to beach in bikinis :D

Gypsy is right.. I often wear my thong to the beach. No one bothers me ..

Just let me know which beach you are goint to ..

I saw many ladies in bikinis in Fuwairit...so I guess its OK.

*Bunga*

Don't listen to any of these people. I go to the public beaches all the time in my bikini. Nobodies ever said a thing or appeared to even give a crap. General rule of thumb in Qatar is not to listen to what people on QL advise you to do, frankly given some of this advice I wonder if any of the responders have ever actually BEEN to a beach in Qatar.

If nobody around you can try without dress..But as a common practice here better to have an abaya...

abomaid where ur going to enjoy

especialy when i can enjoy with here

sure sure

hmmmm may be i will try tomorrow night

nomansland you can. poolplan has a first hand experience with this.

hmm poolplan i cant rotate my neck 360 degrees

poolplan, Is it only Indian men?

It's best to stick to private resorts such as hotels and Sealine. If nobody complains, you will be stared at by Indian men, the type that can rotate their necks through 360 degrees.

Thanks for your answers. I'd rather not go to resorts as they are... you know... resorts. I don't care about shower rooms and bars, and there's generally less to see under water, be it a lonesome fish, bit of coral or some weathered rocks and instead lots of noise. We both don't like spending a whole day at a beach but rather go for a quick swim after having toured the desert.

Need to think about what to do I guess. Will only use my bikini at my compound pool though.

went to mesaieed and to al khor during the holidays.. a lot of trash already. yes you can swim if you dare but theres no shower room. Better to just pay entrance at sealine beach resort.

Can I swim? Of course you can.. only if you know swimming.

you can swim in decent (full dress) any where in Qatar. but in bikni, u can go to far places where u do not find any one especially locals. I have been to Zakhira Beach and i saw several girls were swimming in bikni.

Bikni is not permitted in Qatar so u have to be careful until nobody see u especially locals.

but by yourself, unfortunately, only beach clubs or hotels would accord you that privacy you want. Shorts and t-shirts would do- even if you're not used to it. You know the culture here. Diving lessons are done by 5-star hotels mostly. But quiet expensive. Just wonderin though why they stopped that public resort on that island by the bay. We used to swim there. 15 riyals for the roundtrip Dow, and they have restos in the resort for your food, but we try to sneak in our own food, which were not allowed. hehe

You can swim if modestly dressed but don't wear a bikini or you'll get stoned to death..... of course I am joking but certain self righteous people will come on QL and bemoan the fall of civilisation and that you must be a prostitute.

u could swim in wakra beach or measied one to swim.........better wear t-shirt & shorts....i hv seen countless women swim..
