Qatar implements regulations for desert trip transportation of tourists

In order to enhance desert trip experience this winter by domestic and international tourists Qatar Tourism has implemented an inspection campaign on four-wheel drive bicycle rental shops in Sealine and Al Ghariya areas, in order to ensure that the owners of these shops comply with the provisions of Law No. (20) of 2018 regarding the regulation of tourism, and the circulars issued thereunder, which specifies the work controls for practicing tourism transport activity, and the requirements and standards for means of transport designated for transporting tourists by road trips.

Ali Al Mohannadi, Head of Tourism Control Section, said: “Providing distinctive tourism experiences is one of our priorities at Qatar Tourism, and due to the importance of desert activities, especially during the winter season, we have cooperated with all government and private institutions to enhance security and safety factors during the camping season. We are also working with office owners to regularize their situation and help them comply with licensing requirements with a focus on service discrimination, to preserve their investments and the safety of tenants and campers alike.”

Qatar Tourism implements these campaignsevery year at the beginning of each season, in coordination with the South Security Department in Sealine area, the North Security Department in Al Ghariya, the General Directorate of Traffic, and the Protected Areas Department at the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, in order to enhance security and safety factors during the winter camping period in these areas, and promote local and international tourism.
