Travel Guide Péninsule De Ras Abrouq

A coastline like no other in Qatar, a dizzying altitude. For a change from the "flat country", let's explore the peninsula of Ras Abrouq, twenty kilometers by ten, stretching south-north to the beard of the Bahraini "occupants" of the Hawar Islands. So novelty and rarity, the ground is in relief, a few meters at most of difference in level but it is already that. On board of a 4x4, let's go up along the beach by taking care of the wet sand portions and let's cross in this day of week some very rare vehicles. The signal of the cell phone is going to disappear, we can stop according to our desires to take a dip so much the heat becomes unbearable, by thinking of the physical resistance of Alexandrine Guérin, the French archaeologist who directed here three campaigns on the site of a fortress associated with an artisanal zone of production of syrup of date temporarily occupied during the period abbasside in the IXth century, then exploited in the XIXth century. The drive is exhilarating and a bit sporty in terms of driving, through a Martian landscape punctuated by tabular promontories that emerge at the curve of inland valleys. With sandwiches and a few drinks, a life-saving umbrella, and a 3000-index sun cream, the day looks good.
