11 Water Activities You Should Try In Doha When Things Are Safer
Surrounded by water and with an average temperature of 26 degrees during winter time, living in Qatar makes it an ideal location to try new water sports.
Let’s have a look at all the various water activities you can enjoy in Doha:
- Jet Ski - Imagine riding a motorcycle on the water but with moving waves instead of a road!
- SUP (Stand up Paddleboarding) - One of the fastest growing water activities, in SUP you stand on your board and propel slowly through the water.
- Scuba Diving- Swim underwater using a tank filled with compressed air and proper equipment – take classes and get certified!
- Swimming - Let yourself be free and just swim in one of Qatar’s beaches
- Banana Boat Ride - A super fun activity on a banana-shaped inflatable towed by a jetski or speedboat
- Water Ski – If you haven’t tried water skiing, then this should be first on your list. Kind of like snow skiing but a lot wetter :P
- Sailing - Is there a better way to feel closer to the sea?
- Flyboarding - A water sport that will take you up in the air using jets of water shooting from under your feet – not for the faint-hearted!
- Kayaking - Ideal to explore nature while paddling on a kayak and be really low and close to the water without getting wet
- Parasailing - Fly high above the water while being strapped in a parachute like device while a boat tows you up and away!
