If there is a far far away in Qatar, this is it! Located on the northern tip of the peninsula this town is a fine example of the traditional Bedouin lifestyle as it merges with the modern world, it's about 110 km from Doha! That is however, only 3 kilometers away from Al Shamal Park.
Since we were at Al Shamal already, might as well visit the Al Ruwais. Although, it is the Turknoys first time to see Qatar's border close to Bahrain, this is not my first time. During my stint at Asian Games, we went here already to go to Umm Tais Island - one of the legacy of the games to Qatar is to develop the Umm Tais Island - nostalgia attack when we explored the city proper.
There are not so many people in the village - a bit freaky but this village remains one of the major city in Qatar. Fun!
Keep exploring!
