Overview

The northern region of Qatar is characterized by a diverse geography that encompasses both coastal and inland areas. The northern coastal area of Qatar stretches along the Persian Gulf. It is known for its picturesque sandy beaches. Moving inland from the coast, the geography of the North of Qatar transitions into vast expanses of flat, sandy plains. The Al Zubarah Peninsula is a prominent geographical feature in the North of Qatar. It is home to the Al Zubarah Archaeological Site (UNESCO world heritage site). These plains are mostly notable for Al-jubail village and its mangrove ecosystems, particularly in areas like Al Thakira and Purple Island. We will provide you with an opportunity to experience the marine and inland treasures of Qatar.

We had a great tour of northern Qatar with Hamad. We were sent pickup instructions the day before via WhatsApp and were promptly picked up at the allotted time. The tour went to the fish market at Al Khor, purple island mangroves, Al Zubar fort, Shadows traveling on the Sea sculpture and Jumsil abandoned village. Highlights were definitely the fort and sculpture, which are both great photo ops. Good tour, exceeded my expectations and appreciated Hamad’s information on things like Doha on the drive.

Many thanks to Desert rose tourism qatar for the flexibility and providing the excellent plan for the private tour - went to North Qatar. Visited Faisal Museum, Camel Racing Track, Al Zubara old fort, old village and then went to Purple Island. We finished the tour by watching the stars and dune bashing. Many thanks to Hammad who was excellent guide and driver. It was my pleasure to discuss many different topics with him, He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions with great patience and courtesy.

Our trip went safe and sound. The driver is also our tour guide. He was able to answer our questions about the places even if its not part of the tour. What we like most is the "shadows travelling by the sea" by olafur elliason.

It was a nice trip. We went with Waleed. He picked us up from our hotel, so it was all very comfortable. Everything went fine. It's interesting to see Qatar outside of Doha. Thanks, Waleed!
