There are a lot of popular spots in Qatar for young men to engage in the dangerous past-time of stunt driving.

Police have been cracking down on the practice, conducting surprise raids and impounding cars of drivers found to be drifting, skiing and performing other stunts.

However, the practice persists. Photographer Ameer Abdul Razak captured these shots at sunset over the weekend in the northern part of the country.

He told Doha News: “It’s a place free from (the) crowd, calm and quiet, in the middle of a desert highway.”

Thoughts?

Note: The headline has been corrected to reflect that the photo was taken near Zubarah, not Zikreet.
