Away from Doha’s towers, Qatar’s natural environment has something more to offer to the outdoorsy types and adventure seekers besides the desert landscape. Kayaking trips organised by Entalek, the first eco-adventure company in Qatar, provide a valuable experience that combines fun and learning about nature in Qatar. Paddling through the mangrove trails in Al Thakira Marina, about 50km from Doha, participants can learn about Qatar’s mangrove ecosystem, a hidden natural heritage that deserves attention from tourists and residents alike.
