Zekreet


I must say that since we moved to Doha, I'm slowly embracing it. The weather at the moment is really nice chilly but not hot ,sunny but not humid. It doesn't last very long so we are taking full advantage of it. I know soon I'm gonna start whine and whine when the summer comes justwait and as a part of embracing the new location and taking advantage of the the no tax and cheap fuelhere in Doha, we got ourself a desert car as bubbles calls, its not a monster car but i really luv it and since we got it caveman have been dying to take it out to the desert to have do its job.
So in early Feb we took the girls to Zekreet and it was beautiful although i was not feeling to good ( it was actually the start of my gut bug ) the girls was really excited to go so no choice...we go to Zekreet. It was only about 1hr drive from the house, there was not much signboard on where to go but caveman had found the coordinate and we plug that in the GPS
and voila!

We drove along the coast and it was a perfect day blue skies,turquoise sea and whitish yellowish desert rocks. It was almost like a mini white cliff of Dover but in the desert and it was almost empty. You'll see a few car parked along the beach but very few so its pretty much your beach and your desert.

We headed to the mystery village, why its a mystery?? haven't got a clue. There are some little house and holes in the limestone hills that have been craved in by time and wind. Its a perfect camping site i would say, some shades and protection from the wind and breathtaking view of the sea.

We stop by the beach and had a little nap and snack, the girls washed their feet in th
e water and played around. The water was still a bit chilly to swim maybe in a few weeks time it will be warm and it would be really nice. We didn't stay for very long, i had to be the party popper and asked to go home, coz i was beginning to feel really sick even vomited on the way back.

Although the day didn't end that well, we still has fun esp the girls. Since then we have gotten some camping gears so maybe next time we will sleep over in Zekreet. Im sure it would be an experience.
