The smaller group also ensures we’ll have ample space and attention from the staff when experiencing the inland sea and trying our hand at sandboarding. The group size cap helps create a comfortable, tailored desert safari that we’re sure to remember.
Weather Considerations
While the smaller group size sets the stage for an intimate desert safari, it’s also crucial to consider Qatar’s weather when planning our excursion. We’ll want to be mindful of the desert climate and how it may impact our experience.
The tour may be canceled due to poor weather conditions, such as:
- Extreme heat
- Sandstorms
- Heavy winds
- Unexpected rain
