If you are not a fan of relaxing at one of the luxury hotels in Doha, being waited hand and foot, if you seek a rush of adrenaline to make you feel alive, dune bashing is the thing for you. It is often dubbed as the adrenaline junkie's favourite thing to do in Doha. You need to drive for about an hour to get to the starting point of this adrenaline rushing activity, Mesaieed. From here, all you will be able to see is desert on each and every side. Dune bashing is done on a 4x4 vehicle, but as per the standards of Qatar, this 4x4 is a luxury vehicle. Each ride is accompanied by a local tour guide. A part of his job is to make sure that you are scared out of your wits, so be prepared to hear a lot of horror stories as the 4WD start climbing over the sand dunes. It is a nerve wrecking experience, at times the vehicle being almost vertical. These dune bashing tours often make a stop in the middle of the desert at luxury tents where you can enjoy a meal. This is a harrowing experience, something that must be experienced by everyone, but not really designed for the weak hearted.
