Kayaking at Al Thakkira

 

After all the excitement in the last two weeks, this weekend seems like a simple affair. And Katara seems to be the place where most of the action is happening. 

 

Mangrove Kayaking and Flamingo Beach Tours

With most schools having winter vacations and being a weekend, this is probably a good time to enjoy kayaking and explore the nature with friends and family at Thakira Natural Reserve. A two to three hour event, the climate in Qatar is best to enjoy the outdoors. Though the organizers do recommend to carry hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, towel and a change of clothes.
