===Hills===
[[File:Qatar, Zekreet (Bir Zekrit)(8), desert.jpg|thumb|Flat-topped hills in the [[Zekreet Peninsula]]]]
The peninsula features several low hills scattered throughout its western and southern regions. Notable among these is Jebel Dukhan, a series of convex hillocks extending {{convert|80|km}} north-south along the west coast. The peninsula's terrain also features distinctive flat-topped hills, formed by horizontal strata capped with relatively hard rock. These formations exhibit steep, often concave or stepped slopes, shaped by varying degrees of rock resistance.<ref name="sheeb32">{{cite thesis|last1=Alsheeb|first1=Ali I.

Topographical features range from small, conical hills—where the resistant rock cap has eroded—to more extensive mesa-like formations. Elevation varies considerably; in the [[Zekreet Peninsula]] and near [[Al Khor (city)|Al Khor]], the hills are {{convert|10|m}} to {{convert|15|m}} above sea level. The southern hills are much taller, with Qatar's highest point, [[Qurayn Abu al Bawl]] (also known as Tuwayyir Al Hamir) being over {{convert|100|m}} above sea level.<ref name="sheeb32"/>
