its a long way out but its nice to sometimes just go out and see what's lurking in the desert as opposed to the busy city life.

My first visit was by chance, the idea was to to go to Zekreet beach, we were told then that its few KM away.
My advice is not to go unless a part of a package to Zekreet.
Get there early in your 4WD car , get every thing you need for BBQ enjoy some time filming, selfieing in the desert of Borooq,the name of the area where the film city is,and then back to Zekreet for beach experiance.
No shops or restaurants are there so get food and drink and GPS for the journey as roads are not marked properly.or you hust follow the sea side.

We made this trip last weekend, and I am not sure about the need for 4x4. There are well defined gravel roads that take you right to the site without the need for serious navigation.

Having navigated from the old road next to the current Highway and exiting through Zekreet, I would recommend the Zekreet route. Just pass through the Cuban Hospital round about and continue on the blacktop road until you enter Zekreet village. Continue straight keeping the concrete road dividers to your left, and the road turns to the right in what appears to be between houses. You will emerge with a camel farm on your right, and exposed gas lines in front of you. The road goes over these, and just stay on the trail until you intersect with other main trail... turn left which takes you past an old farmstead and you are on your way.

Search Google maps before you leave, or enroute, and you can clearly see the roads listed above. Stay on the main roads and you should not have a problem. We deflated our tyres slightly and drove at a comfortable speed and encountered no problems at all in a small gutless SUV.

Along the way there is a side attraction works by Richard Serra (Huge steel plates) which is a short drive off of the main trail, and again no need for 4x4. Continue North through the gated fence, and onto Film City and Mystery Village.

Upon reaching the site we were greeted by the resident guard who offered sweet tea and a brief tour. Despite the set not being featured in any Hollywood movie, but rather local Arabian films, it is worth the drive. Mystery Village is another strange place just a few minutes north, and makes a nice place for a lunch break and more photos.

All in all, given the local attractions in Qatar I would rate this the same as Zubarah Fort, and the Sea-line dunes. None of these sites are going to leave you speechless, but they can make for a fun adventure with friends.

There are some places that you must visit before you die. Film city is definitely not one of them. It sounds adventurous and artistic but is just a fort in the desert with nothing to see. Additionally, nothing reminds of a film set.
