Once a country known more for sand than surf, Qatar is now making waves - literally. From jetpacking to jetskiing, kite surfing to kayaking, paddleboarding to parasailing, its 560 km of coastline is fast becoming the peninsula’s next…playground?

In this episode, Laila Humairah explores how a country once known more for sand than surf is now making waves - literally. She talks to locals and expats to find out more about the surge in water-based activities that are changing both weekends and mindsets. Laila meets the athletes, businesses and tourism visionaries who are instrumental in turning a local beach into one of the world’s top kiteboarding destinations and host of the Kite World Cup. A story of passion, innovation, and motion on water.
