Camp owners call for one-month extension of season due to rain

Camp owners in Qatar have asked the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to extend the winter camping season by one month. Heavy rains over recent weeks made access to campsites difficult, especially in Sealine, due to waterlogged soil. Campers note that current mild weather supports continued activities, and an extension would allow them to make up for lost time and safely dismantle equipment. A proposal also suggests allowing sea camping in summer on designated beaches.
