📍 Destination Overview
The Inland Sea in southeastern Qatar, 60 km from Doha, is where the desert meets the Persian Gulf in a dune-enclosed inlet, a UNESCO tentative site. Reached only by four-wheel-drive across the dunes, past camels and Bedouin camps, it is most striking at sunset, with desert camps offering dinners and stargazing.
