More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun tips its brim over a ribbon of dunes as you climb onto a quad for your first run; sand hisses and shifts beneath the tires and the horizon stretches flat and golden. A shared pickup at the National Museum of Qatar deposits the group at a trackhead, then the road gives way to an ocean of wind-sculpted ridges where drivers test brakes, balance, and nerve.
