Hard to find the location as no proper signage provided. Helpful tips: don't be shy to ask anybody nearby, and most important, fill up your fuel tank.

The road is involves quite a bit of off road driving,so recommend to go as a group so you can help each other out if... More

Zakreet, mystery village and film city is a great day excursion in Qatar. Go do it! Fun drive to see a part of Qatar that is not what most people get out to see.

Despite following explicit instructions (its not in the sat nav) and having a detailed map, Film City is impossible to find.

104km from Doha City Center out Dukan Hwy. The first 85km was a normal highway drive with nothing to see, but the last 19km just got better and better.
