Choose from lots of outdoor activities to fill the day. Al Khor Island, or Purple Island as it is commonly known by visitors, comes as a true surprise to many. This wildlife haven is inhabited by flocks of birds and offers a natural destination for outdoor adventure within easy access from the bustle of Doha. Visit Al Khor Island for relaxing time surrounded by nature and history. Enjoy one or more delightful days exploring the mangroves, saltwater creeks, beaches and natural salt ponds of the island as you search for its animal inhabitants. The most famous creatures here are the flocks of bright pink flamingoes. You’ll also see crabs, tidal fish and glass shrimp trapped in rock pools, as well as glowing fireflies visible once the sun goes down. Al Khor Island has a long and fascinating history. Its archaeological finds go back 4,000 years. The island was named after the precious purple dye that was once made from the murex snails that inhabit the coast. Look carefully and you’re still likely to find many of these ancient snail shells. Outdoor adventures abound on the island. Rent a kayak and spend the afternoon paddling through the rich mangroves looking for flamingoes and other birds or enjoy hours at the beach splashing in the calm, clear waters. When the tide is out, grab a net and set off to see what you can find in this natural aquarium. Choose from lovely hikes or try beginner-level rock climbing. Sea views from the limestone rock are worth the effort. Travel by car to Al Khor Island in Shaqiq Bay near the town of Al Khor on the eastern coast of Qatar, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from Doha. The trip here takes about 1 hour. The island itself isn’t accessible by car but you can wade through knee-deep water to reach it. As you cross to the island, imagine the traders, fishermen and pearl divers who all inhabited the area many years ago. ## Plan a trip to see Al Khor Island Price found within the past 48 hours.

(10 reviews) I stayed here for a week in September 2025\. The hotel is not yet fully complete, and there were numerous issues. They were working on the outside facade at night, which was noisy. My bathroom flooded, so I had to change rooms. The lifts announced the wrong floor when you got to them. Even though it is not yet fully completed, I doubt I would stay here again when it is complete.

(388 reviews) I cannot recommend this hotel enough — our stay was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by all the staff, who were always smiling, helpful, and incredibly polite. They truly went out of their way for us and were always on hand whenever we needed anything. The hotel has a beautiful private beach where staff greeted us with complimentary welcome drinks. There was also a 24-hour buggy service that took us to the mall, which was extremely convenient. Breakfast was included in our stay, and there were so many delicious options to choose from. Highly recommend this hotel — we will definitely be back!
