Located on the northernmost point of Qatar, Al Shamal beach offers stunning views of the Persian Gulf. Aptly named after the Arabic word for "north," this beach is perfect for non-swimmers or families with young children as the waters are shallow.
A nearby must-see attraction is the Arsan Cafe, situated on the same northernmost point as Al Shamal beach.
Visitor reviews highlight that the beach is a long and safe place with shower facilities available. Visitors express their admiration for the beach and its scenic beauty. However, some visitors complain that there is no variety when it comes to food options.
Visitors to Al Shamal Beach often stay in the nearby town of Al Ruwais, which offers a range of accommodation options. Many travelers also opt to stay in Doha and take a day trip to the northern beaches, enjoying the scenic drive and exploring other attractions along the way.
