Day 5 – Khor Al Adaid – Inland Sea

Wake to your first morning on board, where the sun rises across the Arabian Gulf and you can settle into a fantastic breakfast before setting off on your first day out on the Zodiacs with your dedicated expedition team member. Khor Al Adaid is one of only 3 places in the world where the sea meets the sand dunes with an unparalleled lagoon system. The big tidal embayment is connected to the Arabian Gulf by a 10- kilometer-long channel bordering Saudi Arabia through which you will cruise while looking for dolphins and turtles. Here the sea meadows are a significant breeding ground for the marine life of the region including dolphins and other sea life. Step foot on dry-land and see where the desert meets the sea and embark on an epic 4X4 experience where you will enjoy an adrenaline filled adventure over the rolling

sand dunes of Qatar. Later, back aboard you can relax and refresh yourself after a day of adventure and watch the wonderful Qatari sunset before dinner in the evening.ù


Day 6 – Halul Island

This morning we wake up at Halul Island. Led by our Expedition Team, we’ll board a Zodiac and skim across the turquoise waters to our island destination and one of Qatar’s best kept secrets. The island is surrounded by a reef which is bursting with coral and marine life which we may have the chance to swim around. Later in the afternoon we’ll set sail for Al Shaheen, the home of Qatar’s Whale Sharks we’ll receive En-route, you will receive an exciting and immersive talk from one of our Marine Biology experts on what Whale Sharks are and why they come to Qatar. They will also be around to answer any questions you may have.


Day 7 – Al Shaheen

Excitement builds this morning as you get ready to explore Al Shaheen, one of the most exclusive areas on the planet as it is still closed to the public. Once there we will go in search of the Whale Sharks, but they shouldn’t be hard to find, as they are the biggest fish in the ocean and Qatar is home to one of the largest populations of Whale Shark in the world. As the population of these creatures is so large, you will also be able to see them in action from the vessel. After a truly stellar day with the Whale Sharks, you will head back to the ship where you will have a chance to relax and look back at some truly epic footage before enjoying a well-earned dinner.


Day 8 – Mangroves and Al Ruwais

Today we will sail to the northern peninsula of Qatar. Here you will take to your Zodiac once again and head across to Qatar’s mangroves. It is true that Qatar is known for its desert landscapes, but when you arrive at today’s destination you won’t believe the sight that awaits you. Qatar’s mangrove forests are truly beautiful and as you weave nimbly through them in your Zodiac, you will find an abundance of life both above and below water. This unique ecosystem attracts migratory birds including herons, and it is also home to numerous species of fish and crustaceans that are visible throughout the year. You will then be transported to Al Ruwais, a major port and place of trade. Here you will explore ruins of old fishing towns which are a tribute to Qatar’s seafaring past. Your Expedition Team will give you in depth information on the area and let you in on some of Qatar’s best kept fishing secrets and methods.


Day 9 – Zekreet and East-West/West-East by Richard Serra

Today you will spend most of your time on dry land, adventuring to the area of Zekreet which shows off yet another side to Qatar’s unique landscape. Most significant here are the extraordinary rock formations.

These incredible looking mushroom-like limestone formations are the result of strong winds blowing away softer sedimentary rock, leaving behind just the harder limestone skeleton exposed. The region is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with a special interest in oryx and gazelles. Upon returning to the ship why not pay a visit to the bridge and talk to the captain about your journey and find out more about the area you have been sailing through. The ship has an open bridge policy, so you may do this at any point during your journey.



Day 10 – Al Zubarah

You will join your Expedition Team on a day of discovery. You will visit Al Zubarah, Qatar’s only UNESCO world heritage site. Al Zubarah has a lot of historical significance within Qatar and the entire region as it was one of the key cornerstones of trade in the 1800s and 1900s. Many old and ancient artifacts have been excavated here and it is one of the best-preserved examples of an 18th and 19th century Gulf merchant town. You will take a trip back in time and learn more about its exciting past including the rise and fall of this unique area


Day 11 – Disembark Doha

After breakfast we will arrive back in Doha, which means it’s time to say goodbye to your ship and to be transferred to the airport
