Al Ruwais, being at the northern tip of Qatar, is the calmest coastal town that preserves the classical and seaside spirit of the country. In its proximity to the skyline of Doha, Al Ruwais embraces the visitor to live the local Qatari life that is marked by the presence of fishing boats at the harbor, soft wave movements at the shore, and the slowing down of time.

Al Ruwais has been around for a while; it was mainly a fishing and trading port that connected the northern part of Qatar to the wider Gulf region. Still, it carries on through the picture of the town where heritage and simplicity leave their mark in the same breath. Al Ruwais Port is still very much alive as local fishermen land their daily catch while the town's masjids and traditional houses expose Qatar's architectural roots.

The traveler can find a very nice spot in Al Ruwais Beach where there are gentle waves all around and families coming with their kids, as well will they be enjoying the rays of sun being vibrant, or visiting nearby sites such as the ancient Al Zubarah Fort which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site revealing tales of Qatar's trading past. The northern shoreline also provides very good areas especially for camping, birdwatching, and photography, particularly when the sun is rising or setting as that is the time the sea sparkles with color beautifully.

Al Ruwais with its serene environment, beautiful beaches, and proximity to cultural landmarks is a wonderful place for spiritually and traditionally inclined travelers. You can have the best of all worlds; visit the sea and get to know Qatar’s coastal heritage while at the same time relaxing.
