Things to do

Al Safliya island

The small uninhabited island of Al Safliya lies off the coast of Doha, south of the Pearl.

A natural paradise with almost no facilities, it’s the perfect destination for nature lovers to enjoy the sun, simply relax or take on various water activities.

On the southern part of the island, wooden umbrellas lie on the beach, letting visitors enjoy the sun. There are no restrooms or other facilities on the island though- so if you are planning a visit, make sure you bring your own supplies.
