Musfur Sinkhole || Qurayn Abu Al Bawl || Faraway Beach Saudi Border || Qatar || Explore Qatar
Last weekend, the we are five family minus 1 (Sam Daddy, since he just became a father, and had to stay back to do daddy duties) had the opportunity to check out its depths of the musfir sink hole one sunny afternoon! Driving from Doha, The Musfur Sinkhole is one of Qatar's most well-kept natural wonders. Believed to have been formed 325,000 to 500,000 years ago during the mid-Pleistocene Era, this mostly-unexplored cave system has an opening of about 40 feet across by 16 feet high. If you are visiting this place it's best to equip yourself with a GPS app so that you'll not get lost and reach the location before sundown! But, if you're feeling old-school and are up for a challenge, then it's accessible 40-45 kilometres from the capital heading west on Salwa Road for about 13 miles until you see the signboard for Umm Ash Shubrum. From there, our advice would be to sacrifice the heroism and just trust Google Maps -- as you need to go off-road and the path to the actual sinkhole is as bumpy as they come!Next, we travelled a little south of Qatar to The highest point in Qatar. Is known as Qurayn Abu al Bawl at 103 metres (338 ft)[88] in the Jebel Dukhan to the west, a range of low limestone outcroppings running north-south from Zikrit through Umm Bab to the southern border. The Jebel Dukhan area also contains Qatar's main onshore oil deposits, while the natural gas fields lie offshore, to the northwest of the peninsula. Unfortunately when we visited, there was a police checkpoint saying that the are is closed and under the army for safety. So please check before you visit this place if its still accessible or not
Faraway beach, also known as As Salwa beach. It is a beautiful place to watch the sunset in Qatar. You can go for a coffee at the newst open destination beach resort, located on three million square meters of prime coastline close to faraway beach is the Salwa Beach Resort by Hilton. With sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf, this ambitious 362-key property will feature a wide range of remarkable facilities, including three kilometres of private beach, a luxury marina and yacht club, a themed water park, a dive centre, cinemas, a shopping mall, an Arabian village, a 2,800 square meter spa and health club, and much more
These 3 are great places to visit for a day-trip, the Musfur Sinkhole is dubbed as the largest and deepest of the still accessible caves in Qatar, the highest point in Qatar, see the sunset at Faraway beach. With that, please do your research, gather up a few friends and plan a long drive this weekend.
