Umm Bab Beach

Sometimes it is better to quote from those who have come before you. In this case, quoting from the Marhaba Guide, "on cresting a small hill, you will see the coast stretched out below and the distinctive group of trees. Most people turn left at the trees and stop a little further on. The sand is very deep so 2wd vehicles should proceed with caution." So we turned left at the trees - my 4wd didn't have problems. This beach is also known as "Palm Tree Beach". In some ways though, it reminded me of the infamous "Chicken Bone Beach" that stu monkey sometimes talks about. You pass a lot of oil field production on the way and unfortunately there is some litter. There were probably a dozen other people there. Despite lots of coastline and beaches, there are very few developed resort areas in Qatar.
