Choose from lots of outdoor activities to fill the day. Al Khor Island, or Purple Island as it is commonly known by visitors, comes as a true surprise to many. This wildlife haven is inhabited by flocks of birds and offers a natural destination for outdoor adventure within easy access from the bustle of Doha. Visit Al Khor Island for relaxing time surrounded by nature and history. Enjoy one or more delightful days exploring the mangroves, saltwater creeks, beaches and natural salt ponds of the island as you search for its animal inhabitants. The most famous creatures here are the flocks of bright pink flamingoes. You’ll also see crabs, tidal fish and glass shrimp trapped in rock pools, as well as glowing fireflies visible once the sun goes down. Al Khor Island has a long and fascinating history. Its archaeological finds go back 4,000 years. The island was named after the precious purple dye that was once made from the murex snails that inhabit the coast. Look carefully and you’re still likely to find many of these ancient snail shells. Outdoor adventures abound on the island. Rent a kayak and spend the afternoon paddling through the rich mangroves looking for flamingoes and other birds or enjoy hours at the beach splashing in the calm, clear waters. When the tide is out, grab a net and set off to see what you can find in this natural aquarium. Choose from lovely hikes or try beginner-level rock climbing. Sea views from the limestone rock are worth the effort. Travel by car to Al Khor Island in Shaqiq Bay near the town of Al Khor on the eastern coast of Qatar, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from Doha. The trip here takes about 1 hour. The island itself isn’t accessible by car but you can wade through knee-deep water to reach it. As you cross to the island, imagine the traders, fishermen and pearl divers who all inhabited the area many years ago. ## Plan a trip to see Al Khor Island Price found within the past 48 hours.
