A good 6 hours on the road - We started at the Zekreet Rock Formations, a stunning showcase of nature’s artistry. The unique, wind-carved limestone formations stood like sculptures in the desert, offering breathtaking views and a sense of serenity. Walking amidst these natural marvels felt like stepping into another world. Our next stop was the Musfur Sinkhole, a captivating geological site. The descent into the sinkhole revealed layers of fascinating rock formations. The peaceful atmosphere and the sheer depth of this hidden wonder made it an unforgettable experience. Finally, we visited the East-West/West-East art installation by Richard Serra. The towering steel plates rising from the desert floor were mesmerizing, blending seamlessly with the vast landscape. The installation’s scale and simplicity created a powerful contrast, inviting reflection and awe in equal measure. Special thanks to our guide, Mohammed, who was instrumental in making this trip smooth and enjoyable. While he wasn’t overly talkative, his sweet and no-nonsense approach ensured we had all the time and space to absorb the beauty around us. This trip was a perfect mix of natural beauty and contemporary art. A must-do for anyone seeking a unique and enriching experience in Qatar!
