点评:We really enjoyed our visit to Purple Island and spent a little over an hour in the area. There is a nice boardwalk which leads to the island itself and this walkway is set above the mangroves and water in the area. There is one staircase down to the mangroves/sand and we would recommend bringing some water shoes if you plan on walking around that area because it would be a bit rough on the feet. Throughout the mangroves you can see small crabs, fish and some birds. We felt lucky to see a kingfisher and a heron in the area.
The boardwalk is about 300 m long and the island itself is about 500 m by 500 m. There is a beach area here and you can go in the water but it is a bit rocky and the water is shallow. You could bring your own chairs or blankets to the island and this would be pretty pleasant in the cooler months because there is limited shade. We brought some towels and water shoes with us in case we got the urge to walk around in the water but we decided we could see enough from the boardwalk and the island itself.
The drive to Purple Island took about an hour from Doha. The parking area has a well serviced and clean wash cart and the boardwalk is right there. It is free to visit this area but we would recommend bringing your own drinks, hand sanitizer, tissues and some snacks if you are coming out here because the services are limited. We believe families with young children, people looking for nature in Qatar or couples would enjoy this area.
A trip to Purple Island could be combined with seeing other attractions in Al Khor like the family park, Panda House, Al Bayt Stadium. During our day trip we drove up to the Fuwairit Kite Beach and Al Jassasiya Rock Art Site areas before returning to Doha. We would highly recommend coming out to this area with your own transport because it will likely be difficult to call a ride share out here. The roads getting out here are well maintained but the last kilometre is a dirt road and is a little bumpy.
翻译:我们非常享受在紫岛的游览,在那里待了一个多小时。岛上有一条漂亮的木栈道,这条栈道建在红树林和水面之上。栈道上有一条通往红树林/沙滩的台阶,如果您打算在沙滩上走动,我们建议您穿水鞋,因为地面会比较崎岖。在红树林中,您可以看到小螃蟹、鱼和一些鸟类。我们很幸运地看到了翠鸟和苍鹭。
木栈道长约300米,岛屿本身大约500米乘500米。岛上有一片沙滩,您可以下水,但沙滩上有一些岩石,水也比较浅。您可以自带椅子或毯子上岛,在凉爽的月份里会非常舒适,因为岛上遮荫的地方不多。我们带了毛巾和水鞋,以防想下水走走,但最终决定在木栈道和岛上游览就足够了。
从多哈开车到紫岛大约需要一个小时。停车场有干净整洁的洗车车,木栈道就在旁边。紫岛免费开放,但由于岛上服务有限,我们建议您自带饮料、洗手液、纸巾和一些零食。我们相信,带小孩的家庭、想在卡塔尔亲近自然的游客以及情侣都会喜欢这里。
紫岛之旅可以与游览豪尔的其他景点结合起来,例如家庭公园、熊猫馆和阿尔拜特体育场。我们当天还去了富瓦伊里特风筝海滩和贾萨西亚岩画遗址,之后返回多哈。我们强烈建议您自驾前往,因为在这里可能很难叫到网约车。通往这里的路况很好,但最后一公里是土路,有点颠簸。
