Paratrike Air Tour / Powered Paragliding
Qatar, Doha
A Paratrike Air Tour is an exhilarating, low-altitude aerial adventure that combines the canopy of a parachute (paraglider) with a motorized carriage (trike), piloted by a certified expert. Typically launching from the Sealine Beach area, the 20-45 minute flight offers stunning, unobstructed views of the massive golden sand dunes meeting the Arabian Gulf and the Inland Sea (Khor Al Adaid). It is an accessible, year-round activity (weather permitting) that provides one of the best perspectives for capturing the unique contrast of Qatar’s desert and coastal landscapes.
