Saturday, Jim and I joined a seven hour four-wheel drive tour down to the inland sea. This was an awesome trip, and truly unique experience... highly recommended for any weekend stay in Qatar. I have to say that I have gained a healthy respect for the off-road capabilities of the Toyota Land Cruiser, and the professional drivers of Gulf Adventures. Flying over these massive dunes, or speeding across the night time desert (with no lights!) at 100 kph definitely tops any roller coaster on the thrill scale. Nothing like actual danger to get the adrenaline pumping!
These pictures don't come close to portraying the stomach churning excitement of the drive, but I do hope that they capture some of the beautiful desert environment.
