Each year hundreds of whale sharks congregate in the Al Shaheen region off the northeast coast of Qatar. On this voyage, you will be among the first to see them in Qatari waters. While these magnificent creatures are the biggest fish in the ocean, they are also the most gentle and majestic. 

Venture out on a tour of the Zekreet area: a village in north-western Qatar near Dukhan and about 80 km northwest west of Doha. It is home to Richard Serra's East-West/West-East installation, comprising four steel plates, each of which is over 14m in height spanning over 1km. It stands in stark contrast to the soft brown hues of the desert surrounding it, and offers a comment on isolation and the passage of time. 

Relax by the pool or beach or indulge in a spa session back at your hotel. 

Head to the famous Museum of Islamic Art, an architectural wonder, an architectural wonder designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect I.M.
