Dukhan

About

Dukhan, translating to “smoky mountain”, is enveloped in clouds at its summit and smoke from gas flares around the oil camp that shares its name. Located in the western municipality of Al-Shahaniya, it’s home to the vibrant Dukhan Souq, a bustling marketplace featuring a variety of shops and mouth-watering restaurants. Visit the Al Khutba Mosque, which dates back to 1942 and stands as one of the oldest mosques in the city, built soon after the establishment of the oil camp. Its unique decorative elements adorn the interior and an outdoor praying area and prayer hall provide solemn spaces for religious ceremonies. Take a leisurely stroll along Dukhan Beach, renowned for its tranquility away from the bustling city life, and indulge in an exotic BBQ experience in one of the tents while taking in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Whether exploring the city’s heritage, indulging in local cuisine or simply enjoying the serenity of the beach, Dukhan provides a memorable destination in Qatar.
