yeah i cant count how many dolphins i have seen on my last trip about 2 weeks ago, and there was a lot of young ones, last spring must have been a real baby boom season

Wow you were really lucky to see dolphins from the shore. I did a boat trip from Muscat once and there was a group of around 40 or 50 dolphins swimming with the boat. The were smaller than the one in your picture though.

Please re-confirm the statement that you actually took this photo or you have not got this photo from anywhere else. First of all, Dolphins will not survive in this weather and there are no dolphins in Qatar.

get the facts first before commenting. there are dolphins, whale shark, and other marine mammals in qatar. Dolphins are a common sighting here, specially in al ghariya area. Seen them up close and personal, around 50m from shore.

Picardo.
