Singing Sand Dunes: The Singing Sand Dunes are a rare natural phenomenon and one of 30 places in the world where sound is naturally produced from sand dunes, located 40 km southwest from Doha. The semi-circular dunes form a natural desert amphitheatre that creates a singing or musical effect. Enjoy the fun drive from Doha and listen to the humming sound of the sand flowing down the side of the sand dunes. Discovered in the Middle East over 1500 years ago, Qataris used to attribute these sounds to evil Djinns, and explorers like Marco Polo, shared tales of the low-pitched desert sounds over 700 years ago. The Singing Sand Dunes are a natural attraction you will never forget!
