The summer months (June to September) sizzle with dry heat. Winter temperatures are the pleasant side of hot (November to February), with surprisingly cool mornings and evenings.
Getting there
Planes
Doha is the closest international airport; from there, it’s a 90-minute drive to Ras Abrouq. As there aren’t sealed roads to take you all the way to the coast, renting a 4WD or arranging suitable transfers is advisable.
Automobiles
Ras Abrouq is off the beaten track so you’ll need a suitable 4WD to tackle the sandy terrain. This and the fact that SatNav can be temperamental in these parts make chauffeured transfers our strong recommendation.
