What you’re going to do

Located in the Northeast coast of Qatar, Purple Island is one of Qatar's natural wonders - a perfect destination for nature lovers as you will get to explore several fauna and flora of Qatar. We will welcome you in our camp where there are several recreational facilities such as a playground, campfire spot, volleyball court, and other basic necessities such as changing rooms, showers and toilets.

On the way to Bn Ghanam (more widely known as purple island), you will also have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful northeast coast of Qatar. At your request, you will also be provided with information on the ecology of the mangroves.

The first 15 minutes from your arrival, we will guide you through paddling and safety instructions and give beginners rowing and safety training. We will have some drinks, coffee, and tea at the camp for you to enjoy. The duration of the tour is approximately an hour and 30 minutes where we will take you through the spectacular mangrove channel, birdwatching and nature exploration and also head to the Purple Island for new adventures!

When you arrive back at the camp after the tour, you will get some time to stick around to get changed, and rest at our beautiful traditional camp to enjoy some music, coffee/tea/karak and each other's company.
