Film City in Qatar | Detailed overview of Film City

Film City in Qatar :

The Film City is located in one of Qatar’s truly fantastic site that is entirely deserted. The visitors really feel as they may have stepped into one of the ghost towns in the American west; with anomalous palm trees rather than tumbleweeds afford a visual treat in the never-ending arid landscape.

here are different answers for anyone who asks why Film City was built in Qatar? The replica village was said to either function as the set of a big Hollywood production or for a native Arabic film, or for Qatar’s 2022 World Cup video promo. Whatever the reason, the spacious outline of the city, secluded location and sparse tourism, only served to magnify the weird element when visitors walk through its main square. However, the film city seizes the last structural detail with expert subtlety and provides visitors a high creepiness as well as adventurous factor on a day out. So take a breather from the norm and make a trip out in the middle of the Arabian Desert to an eerie Hollywood movie set.

How to go?
Film city can be reached from Doha by following Dukhan highway taking D-Ring Road to Shamal then turn left at Al Rayyan Interchange (4-level interchange). This leads you to Dukhan Highway. After travelling nearly 90 kms, turn right once Zikreet route sign is reached.

The Film City is located in one of Qatar’s truly fantastic site that is entirely deserted.

It is worthwhile to bring along a person who has already visited the area, at least for two or more. Depending upon how many photo stops you make along the way, total trip may take 1-2 hours. Though a sedan type car can pass the route and make it to the film studio if tourists stay on the graded surfaces. Once we get off the graded tracks, 4WD is recommended.

Reconstructed ruins in Zekreet.
Zekreet is a village in north-western Qatar near Dukhan and about 80 km nort-west west of Doha.[1] Originally a sparsely populated area, Zekreet was built up in the 1940s after oil operations commenced in Qatar. This included the construction of a harbor for oil equipment and a number of small houses which eventually developed into a village.[2] There are a number of visitor attractions and old ruins at the site, one of the most notable being Zekreet Fort, which is housed to the immediate north of the village.

The Journey to Film City Qatar ( Transformers )

My family and I had a very short trip to Film City in Qatar . It was a very fun journey but it was not an easy one either . Navigation was very tough since there wasn't really any proper tracks , but the locals would set up markers with buckets of sands to show you the way . There was also many car tracks from previous travelers .



Facts :

-This is Qatar's own piece of Hollywood set in the most unlikely of places. Deep in the desert . Seriously . DEEEEEP in the desert .

-Some assert it was built for a big Hollywood production, others say it was for an Arabic film; others still claim it was built for Qatar's 2022 World Cup promotional video. Whatever the reason the expansive layout of the city, remote location and distinct lack of people, only served to amplify the surreal element as we walked through its main square.*1 But from my knowledge , rumors has it that it was used for Transformers 2 , the scene where that was a robot in the figure of a scorpion . Seems legit .

Doha Film City Tour | Exclusive | Zikreet Dukhan desert | Qatar Film Shooting | Qatar Malayalam Vlog

Doha Film City at Zekreet Qatar is a complete recreation of an Arabic style village. It is totally unique because no one actually lives there, but it is constantly maintained as if it were a thriving village in real life – which makes it the perfect setting for a ghost town!
It was first established as a location for filming Arabic TV series, and if you are a resident of Qatar or even planning a tour in the region then Doha Film City is surely a great option to explore at least once. In general, there are not many visitors, however, it is still a great place to have a taste of adventure.
What will you find to explore here?

The Ras Abrouq peninsula, located eighty kilometers from Doha at Zekreet is a wonder to behold. The landscape is truly captivating with open desert, superb architectural styles, magnificent rocks, beautiful palm trees, eye-catching plateaus, salt flats and more. The whole set is the size of a real village and is terrific fun to explore with your entire family. There is a main gate through which to enter the village, which is walled from all sides.
When and how to visit?

Follow the Dukhan highway, taking the D-Ring Road to Shamal and then turn left at the Al Rayyan Interchange. Continue on to the Dukhan Highway and after approximately 90 kms, turn right when you see the Zekreet route sign. The total trip will take 1-2 hours. A regular car can make it there if you keep to the graded road, but of you want to get off the graded tracks, 4WD is recommended.
When you do get there, the best way to explore the majestic aura of the artificial city is on foot, and when you need rest and relaxation there is an oasis next to Film City where you can spend some quality time with your family and take refreshments in small shops that stock all you could require for a perfect visit. Try to time your visit before the heat of the midday sun, and try to leave before sunset or you could face difficulty navigating through the dark.
Things to keep in mind while visiting Doha film city
Carry a lot of water while travelling to this place. Keep your snacks ready at hand, and protect yourself from the searing sun with hats, headscarves, sunscreen and sunglasses. Don’t forget your camera to capture some superb photographs, and please ensure that your car has sufficient fuel and spare tires. Use your smartphone or satnav to get there and back safely; and above all – have fun in this enchanting historical reminder of the past!
