Experience Qatar LIKE NEVER BEFORE!!!
Camping in Qatar or Middle East its a great experience and more scenic during winters with mist in mornings.😍😍😍
The name of the island is due to the fact that it was used as a dye production site which was purple in color. One can find shells of murex snails on the island.
Qatar is home to the Avicenna Marina species; it is known as the grey or white mangrove trees, with the largest eight forests located in the east coast of the country. The oldest and largest mangroves can be found at Al Thakira and Al Khor.
Located in the northeast of Qatar, Bin Ghannam Island, popularly known as Purple Island, is a must-visit spot. An hour’s drive from Doha, near Al Khor city, the island is famous for its natural beauty, exotic flora and fauna, and is ideal for a day trip for the whole family.

Be mindful while choosing camping site because of TIDE because it rises the water levels
every 6hrs and goes back to normal.
