The Visit Qatar Sealine season kicks off today, transforming the desert landscape into a hub of family-friendly activities – set against the backdrop of Qatar’s stunning desert landscape and running until January 27.

According to Visit Qatar, the nearly month-long event is packed with diverse attractions, including live music concerts, a unique Kite Festival, thrilling drone shows, and a classic car showcase.

Visitors can embark on outdoor adventures such as ATV rides, safari tours, and horseback riding.

Those seeking a cultural immersion can participate in calligraphy workshops and falconry displays, while families will find plenty to explore in dedicated zones, competitions, and the breathtaking Friday night fireworks.

“The gorgeous Sealine will be transformed into a hub of family-friendly happenings that incorporate cutting-edge amenities and tailoured experiences, offering visitors a unique blend of adventure and comfort,” Visit Qatar said, noting that the event is designed to allow visitors to connect with Qatar’s Bedouin heritage while enjoying luxurious desert experiences.

Visit Qatar noted that the schedule is packed with engaging events: live concerts will take place on January 3 and 10, while fireworks will light up the desert every Friday, in addition to daily stage shows, roaming entertainment acts, and DJ performances.

Food enthusiasts can enjoy “Chef on Fire” demonstrations every Thursday and Friday.

The Kite Festival will take to the skies on January 16-18, followed by drone shows on January 23-24.

Classic car aficionados can look forward to the car show on January 24.

Beyond the entertainment, Visit Qatar added that this one-of-its-kind activation also features interactive cooking competitions and an environmental area presented by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, where visitors can learn about Qatar’s national animal, the oryx.

For those seeking further adventure, fishing and boat trips, along with hot air balloon flights, are also available.

According to Visit Qatar, the activation provides a unique chance to experience Qatari culture on the edge of the desert.

With a focus on creating tailoured experiences and incorporating modern amenities, the Sealine activation aims to be an unforgettable experience for families and individuals alike.

The Sealine Village can be easily accessed by car: From Doha, drivers should follow Salwa Road (Route 55) southwest and continue until reaching the Mesaieed/Sealine Beach turnoff.

Merging onto Route 55A will lead through Mesaieed City, and following signs for Sealine Beach will direct them to the Sealine Village.
