This opening marks the first Our Habitas home in Qatar and forms part of a new multi-destination hotel circuit in the region.

Located approximately one km from Richard Serra’s iconic sculpture, East Meets West, guests can visit this unique piece and immerse in the natural beauty of the surrounding white dunes with offsite tours and excursions. In the coming seasons, Our Habitas Ras Abrouq is set to stage art exhibits, one-of-a-kind dining experiences, open-air cinema screenings, concerts and more. Our Habitas is also working in close collaboration with Qatar Museums on showcasing significant artworks, and a selection of large pieces are due to be installed at the property.
Currently, the resort is home to a stainless steel sculpture by artist and sculptor, Khalid Shahin. In curation, Our Habitas partnered with Atlas Bookstore founded by Qatari sisters Fatma Al Sehlawi and Reem Al Sehlawi on cultural advisory, who assigned Studio Imara to support specific design elements and interiors of the new resort. This allowed Our Habitas to source pieces throughout the property from up-and-coming and established local artists.
The resort’s dining destination Qissa, celebrates Arabic, Qatari, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. The kitchen, centred around an open coal and wood fire grill, showcases the natural brilliance of seasonal produce whilst emphasising ethical sourcing and sustainability.
