Al Thakira Mangroves Qatar
A wetland on the edge of the desert, this oasis of green is one of Qatar’s most treasured natural sites to go kayaking or explore this fascinating ecosystem.
Al Thakira, also known as Al Dhakira, is among Qatar’s oldest and largest mangrove forests. These native trees thrive in briny water and can withstand extreme temperatures. It’s a unique ecosystem that attracts birds, fish and crustaceans throughout the year, and can be easily reached by car from Doha – although in an offroad vehicle.
