Overview

Embark on an adventure to Qatar's enchanting western region, where the arid desert landscape conceals remarkable natural and man-made wonders waiting to be discovered.
Our journey begins from the heart of Qatar's cultural heritage, the Camel Racing Track. Witness the awe-inspiring speed and grace of these majestic creatures as they thunder across the desert in pursuit of victory. You'll learn about the rich tradition of camel racing in Qatar.
Our next stop takes us to the otherworldly Mushroom Rocks, a geological marvel sculpted by millennia of wind and sand. These natural sandstone formations, resembling giant mushrooms, rise from the desert floor, casting surreal shadows across the desert terrain.
Throughout our journey, you'll also encounter elements of renowned artist Richard Serra's unique artistic influence. Inspired by the desert's vastness and the interplay of space, These massive, weathered steel sculptures create a thought-provoking juxtaposition with the natural surroundings

EAST-WEST / WEST-EAST by Richard Serra

Richard Serra adds the astonishing East-West/West-East sculpture to the desert landscape, taking art to the people. Serra's public art has always been driven by a desire to take sculpture off the pedestal and on to the street. To him, the content of the work derives from interaction with the viewer, meaning he always has visitors in mind. He acknowledges that he can't predetermine what people will make of it.
