Thursday, February, 2016 - Stage 4 in the 2016 Tour of Qatar van 2016 is held in the north of the peninsula. After 189 kilometres in the saddle the finish is in coastal town Madinat Al Shamal.
Departure place and arrival place of the penultimate stage in the 2016 Tour of Qatar are the same as last year’s. As always in Qatar, the race is on flat roads through the desert.

After heading in southeasterly direction and a spin through the desert the riders race the same route back. Following the first intermediate sprint the route continues up north.
