Things to know about Al Wakrah Pet friendly dog beach, how to get to Al Wakrah DOG beach , what is it like? is it safe for my dog? Can you let your dog off the leash or lead and run free?
Finding places to walk your dog in Qatar is relatively easy, given that there are so many vacant lots of dusty land dotted around all over the city, but also quite challenging, as you may often encounter piles of waste and litter and also get hassle from people who fear or dislike dogs. The ground can be rough and difficult to walk on and nowhere is completely traffic free, as empty land is often used as a short cut, given that most people have 4WD vehicles.
The small town of Al Wakra is about 20km south of the city, and there are a number of ways to get there, including a fast new highway which passes by the new airport. Some expats choose to live in Al Wakra, but there isn't much to do there, and it is a long taxi journey into Doha for nights out and shopping.
As you drive into Al Wakra, you will see a large power station/desalination plant on the left (Ras Al Funtas). Shops will appear on both sides of the road.
Personally, I choose to drive onto the beach and head off as far to the right as possible – at low tide this will usually get you far away enough from other beach users to ensure that you have a lot of space for your dog to run around freely without bothering, or being bothered by, other people. But don't drive onto the beach unless you have been with someone else first, as there are only one or two safe places to get onto the beach and you need to know where the areas of soft sand are, which must be avoided if you don't want to get your car stuck! Once on the beach, drive as close to the water line as possible, as this will keep you away from the soft sand, and also avoid any of the raised spits of dry sand, as these tend to be softer and more difficult to drive on.
It is very helpful to know the tides, as the water here is very shallow for many hundreds of metres, so even a 10cm difference in tide height can produce a rapid change in the amount of dry beach available. At low tides, you can drive right out to the old lorry axle which is situated down the far end of the beach.
Are you moving to Qatar, what are the most important things you need to know about coming to live work or visit Qatar if you have a dog or pet:
At mid tide, this area is covered, but you can park closer to the land and there are lots of sand islands you can walk out with your dog. The water gets no deeper than knee or thigh height anywhere on the beach.
There is land around the beach, but it is usually busy and covered in BBQ waste and litter, so not ideal for dog walking.
