We went back to the north of Qatar, looking for the Fuwairit beach (see our last adventures). The village is half deserted, except for a sheep breeding next to a big villa and it seems that the inhabitants have suddenly deserted, leaving their cars here and there, doors half open. At sunset, these turned yellow from the dust and sand houses and their rusty doors, the cars also, were very attractive subjects for photography (see also other pictures of the village).

Then we went and saw the beach, there was a little bit of wind at sunset. Many tents were installed facing the sea. It is visibly an entertainly place for the locals, to drive and skid in the small sand dunes. Apparently indifferent to the near landscape, several 4WD appeared, men sit on the windows and the open roof, all lights on and driving fast, later, men on quads enjoyed the place too.

On Fuwairit beach
At sunset, we drove along the coast, the ground was made mainly of rocks, certain passages were delicate for the CR-V (which is not really a big 4WD). At one moment, we were facing a wide land made of sand and rocks, turning our backs to the sea, in a rose oranged light.

Desert near Fuwairit





Hey, what about the mangrove swamp just a few feet away out of this part of Fuwairit beach?
