Located in southern Qatar, Sealine is a coastal desert area where the dunes meet the sea, creating one of the country’s most recognizable natural landscapes. Easily accessible from Doha and well connected for visitors across the GCC, Sealine is known for its expansive sands, open terrain, and increased visitor activity during the winter season.
Running throughout January 2026, Visit Qatar’s Sealine Season returns as a month-long celebration of outdoor entertainment, motorsport spectacle, and culturally rooted performances, transforming the desert into a dynamic hub for families, music lovers, and adventure seekers, with curated weekend experiences designed for residents and visitors from across the region.
High-energy desert entertainment meets live performances
One of the headline attractions of Sealine Season is the arrival of Monster Jam, one of the world’s leading live motorsport entertainment experiences. Taking place on 9 and 10 January 2026, the Monster Jam Show brings high excitement to the desert with giant, custom-built trucks standing over 10 feet tall and powered by 1,500-horsepower engines. Audiences can expect precision-controlled racing, gravity-defying stunts, and a family-friendly atmosphere on specially designed dirt tracks.
Ahead of the main show, fans can also attend the Monster Jam Pit Party, offering a rare opportunity to get up close to the trucks and meet the drivers. Access to the Pit Party requires both a Monster Jam event ticket and a Pit Party Pass. Tickets and Pit Party Passes are available online via Platinumlist, with standard venue and ticketing fees applicable.

Beyond motorsport, Sealine Season will also host Sealine Nights, a series of weekend concerts celebrating traditional and regional musical expressions in a striking desert setting. Concert evenings begin on 16 January with performances by Moudi and Sultan Khalifa, followed by a live concert by renowned artist Khalid Abdulrahman on 23 January, and concludes with Samri Night on 30 January. Each night is carefully curated to deliver an immersive cultural experience, enhanced by fireworks displays that illuminate the desert sky.
All Sealine Season events take place at Sealine Circuit Sports Club (Mawater). Doors open at 18:30, with shows commencing at 20:00, allowing visitors to enjoy the desert atmosphere as the sun sets.
