Barouq 2025 event in Qatar: Adventures and camping in Ras Barouq
Qatar is gearing up to welcome the winter season with an exceptional event that redefines desert tourism: the return of the second edition of "Barouq," illuminating the country's west coast. Located on the Zekreet Peninsula, Ras Barouq, known locally as "Barouq," boasts a unique geological formation sculpted over millennia. Here, white limestone cliffs and distinctive rocky plateaus (desert tables) meet the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, making it one of the region's most captivating locations for photographers and nature enthusiasts.
A highly anticipated return with diverse events
Visit Qatar has announced the launch of a new edition of the event, running from November 26, 2025, to January 17, 2026. This initiative aims to transform the tranquil Ras Brouq area into a vibrant entertainment and cultural destination. Visitors will be able to enjoy immersive experiences, including exploring the iconic "Film City," which recreates traditional heritage villages, experiencing traditional storytelling, and witnessing falconry, a practice that reflects an integral part of Gulf identity.
Adventures and excitement for all ages
Thrill-seekers and adventurers will find plenty to enjoy at "Burooq," where the "Desert Sanctuary" area boasts Qatar's longest zipline, in addition to a 25-meter-high adventure tower offering breathtaking panoramic views of the desert and sea. The event also caters to families, with daily programs including puppet shows, face painting, and interactive workshops teaching traditional crafts such as boat building and palm frond weaving, thus strengthening the connection of younger generations to their heritage.
Luxury accommodation and regional tourist attraction
In line with its commitment to promoting luxury ecotourism, the event offers a unique accommodation experience through Our Habitas, providing upscale beachfront camping units that allow visitors to relax under the stars, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. This event further strengthens Qatar's position as a leading tourist destination in the region, contributing to the revitalization of domestic tourism and attracting visitors from the GCC countries, especially given the ease of access via the Abu Samra land border crossing or Hamad International Airport, and the visa-free entry available to GCC citizens and residents.
The event offers exceptional value with nominal ticket prices of 50 riyals for adults and 30 riyals for children, making it an ideal weekend getaway. For those interested in exploring further, event details and ticket bookings can be found through the official Visit Qatar links.
