Qatar's Whale Shark Tours offer rare glimpse of nature's wonder
Tribune News Network Doha Every summer, the waters off Qatar's northern coast transform into one of the world's most incredible marine spectacles. From June to September, hundreds of whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea, gather in the Al Shaheen Marine Zone, forming one of the largest aggregations in the world and offering a truly rare and unforgettable experience. With just one month left in the season, now is the perfect time for visitors to seize the opportunity to witness this spectacle. The Whale Shark Tours, operated by Discover Qatar in collaboration with Qatar Tourism, aim to promote ecotourism by allowing guests to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, while ensuring minimal disturbance to the marine environment. This season runs until September 2025, offering guests the chance to board a luxury catamaran and, guided by marine experts, experience these gentle giants in their natural surroundings while learning about their role in the ecosystem and Qatar's ongoing conservation efforts. This meaningful encounter is made even more powerful by the fact that whale sharks are currently listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with their global population having declined by over 50 percent in the past 75 years. Despite their large size, whale sharks pose no threat to humans. Unlike other shark species, they are filter feeders, calmly swimming through the water while feeding on tiny prey such as plankton, crustaceans, squid, and fish eggs. The Whale Shark Tours are a journey into one of nature's most awe-inspiring events. Designed with sustainability and the protection of the whale sharks in mind, the experience is made possible through close coordination with key entities from both the private and public sectors, including Qatar Energy, the Ministry of Municipality, Mwani, Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Qatar Airways, and the General Directorate of Coasts and Borders Security. These partnerships strengthen the tour's operational framework and contribute significantly to enhancing the service delivery and overall visitor experience. Tours can be booked directly via while international visitors can include the tour as part of their stopover package through
