Nestled about 36 kilometers south of Doha in the town of Mesaieed, Sealine Beach is one of Qatar’s most exhilarating natural attractions. What makes this destination unique isn’t just the golden stretch of sand along the Arabian Gulf, but the surreal meeting point of rolling desert dunes and serene ocean waves. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, beach lover, or luxury traveler, Sealine Beach offers a bit of everything — all with a warm Qatari touch.
Few places in the world offer the chance to swim in the sea and dune bash in the desert — all in one afternoon. At Sealine, that’s exactly what awaits. The towering sand dunes just behind the beach are a playground for adrenaline junkies. Strap into a 4x4 for a heart-pounding desert safari, go sandboarding, or hop on an ATV or quad bike for a ride across the sun-baked terrain. Camel rides are also available for a more traditional — and photogenic — desert experience.
The famed Monster Bus desert tour is another crowd-pleaser: a giant vehicle that takes you on a rollercoaster ride over the dunes with panoramic views of the sea and sand.
If you’re looking to unwind in style, Sealine Beach, A Murwab Resort is the go-to place. This five-star beachfront property offers deluxe rooms, villas with private pools, and even seaside chalets for families. Guests can enjoy:
Two outdoor swimming pools
On-site spa and wellness center
Water sports rentals
Horseback riding
Tennis courts and a fitness gym
The resort blends traditional Qatari hospitality with contemporary luxury, making it a perfect choice for both romantic escapes and family getaways.
The calm, warm waters of the Arabian Gulf are ideal for swimming, jet skiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and even banana boat rides. For a laid-back experience, you can simply enjoy a sun-soaked day on the clean, wide beach, watching the waves roll in as the dunes frame the horizon.
Those who love fishing will also find plenty of spots to cast a line or book a deep-sea fishing excursion.
Every year, Sealine Beach hosts “Sealine Season”, a dynamic festival that brings music, culture, food, and sports together in one vibrant celebration. This three-week-long event draws locals and tourists alike with its lineup of:
Kite flying shows
Paragliding exhibitions
Pop-up food stalls

Off-road and desert sports competitions
It’s a fantastic time to visit if you want to immerse yourself in Qatari culture while enjoying the region’s natural beauty.
Sealine Beach isn’t just for adventurers and luxury seekers — it’s great for families too. The resort offers dedicated kids’ play zones, outdoor activity centers, and child-friendly beach spaces. During Sealine Season and major holidays, family entertainment like magic shows, crafts, and children’s storytelling make it even more appealing.
There are also shaded picnic areas for a low-key beach day if you're bringing your own food and drinks.
