The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC), represented by the Natural Reserves Department, has conducted a field visit to Al Ashat Island during the Eid Al Adha holiday, as part of its efforts to enhance environmental monitoring of local islands.
The visit aimed to ensure the safety of the island's ecosystem, the extent to which visitors adhere to environmental laws and requirements, and the absence of any violations that could negatively impact the island's biodiversity.
Al Ashat Island is located in the southeastern part of Qatar. It extends over an area of approximately 20 square kilometres and is characterized by being surrounded by cliffs carved by the waves, and the presence of two separate rocks overlooking Khor Al Udeid from the northeast. It is also considered home to several migratory seabirds.
The island is also characterized by its picturesque location and mild weather, and it is considered one of the best ecotourism places in Qatar due to its fertile marine environment for many fish and living organisms
