Starting from today (17 October 2022), guests will be able to book their stay at Fuwairit Kite Beach Resort by visiting www.discoverqatar.qa/FKB.

The resort will be offering kitesurfing lessons by a team of seasoned and internationally certified instructors. Qatar's first kitesurfing destination is particularly suited to the activity, with calm, shallow waters providing amateurs the perfect space to learn and allowing professionals to push their limits and test new skills.

In May 2022, Qatar Airways announced a new long-term partnership with the GKA Kite World Tour, becoming the Title Partner and Official Airline of the World Tour through 2024. Together with Qatar Tourism, the Official Tourism Partner of the Kite World Tour, the two organisations will host the GKA Kite World Tour stops at the new beach resort in 2023 and 2024.
