The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change announced that registration for the 2025-2026 winter camping season will close tomorrow, Saturday, through the ministry's online platform and its application.
In a statement issued today, the ministry urged those wishing to obtain camping permits to complete the procedures before the deadline, stressing that registration will close permanently after the specified date.
It explained that the registration process has proceeded according to plan since it opened on Oct. 1, across various land and coastal camping areas and within nature reserves, without any obstacles.
The ministry encouraged camp owners to clearly display their camp number in the designated locations so that specialized teams can monitor compliance with regulatory conditions and procedures, and respond to any reports related to safety, environmental violations, or emergency cases.
It also emphasized the importance of adhering to camping regulations, including maintaining public cleanliness, avoiding activities that could affect wildlife, and staying within designated camping zones without exceeding permitted boundaries.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Winter Camping Affairs Organizing Committee Hamad Salem Al Nuaimi revealed that the number of camps registered for the current season has reached 2,872. He noted that northern areas accounted for 44 percent of total sites, compared to 40 percent in the southern region and 16 percent in the central region reflecting a balanced distribution of sites and a variety of options available to citizens.
Al Nuaimi added that the current season has continued implementing several successful regulatory measures, such as providing monitoring points and environmental patrols, and strengthening field-monitoring teams to oversee site readiness and ensure campers comply with environmental standards.
He said that winter camping is an important social and cultural activity in Qatari society, and that preserving its sustainability requires cooperation from camp owners to avoid any negative environmental impacts.
