    A great experience made all the better by Sohail. Exceptionally knowledgeable but more important, very friendly, thoughtful etc … Enough to make us want to go back to Doha with our children next time! Thanks Sohail!

    What a fab time spent with Faisal! He was so informative and knew the answers to all of our questions. The time just flew by. We feel like we know so much more about Qatar now and enjoyed all the stops. We can highly recommend this trip

    We did the Dessert Tour with an amazing tour guide. However, our 2nd trip to the North of Qatar was disappointing 1. The tour should have been longer than 4 hr because the places are far from each other 2. Jumail Village was a waste of time. Zubara fort and Purple Island is a wonderful place to explore 3. Choose your tourist guide that have higher rating. Fun and professional guide does make a difference

    A great trip to see the Zubara Fort in the North of Qatar. Nasser is a great driver for the trip. The mangrove area in the middle of the area was also very interesting. It is about one hour drive from Doha to the Fort so please take into account when planning this trip
