My family ended up taking a tour with QIT because La Vacanza Travel made a mistake and forgot about us. QIT was able to contact Ibrahim Bangash, who guided us to the race track. We got a good look at the stables and track due to his personal contacts, so the tour turned out very well. We lost about an hour of the tour due to the mistake by La Vacanza Travel, so we never made it to the museum, but our main focus was on the camel track anyway, so that was not a problem. Ibrahim did a good job with his last-minute assignment!

La Vacanza Travel is ordinarily great, but they really let us down on this one. I arranged for the tour months in advance and got confirmation of payment a few days before the trip, but no one ever showed up or made contact. I had to make a long distance phone call to sort it out. The company said we were overlooked because there were so many cruise passengers in that day. What kind of excuse is that? Anyway, La Vacanza Travel had to contact another tour company to get us someone last minute. They woke him up out of bed, actually. We had lost about an hour and 15 minutes by the time he arrived. Then there was massive confusion about the nature of the tour, but our guide — Ibrahim Bangash — got it sorted out due to his personal contacts and the tour ended up quite well. We didn’t make it to the museum due to the loss of time, but that was ok because our focus was on the camels and racetrack anyway. So the tour turned out alright due to Qatar International Tour of Doha.

Our family took a half day tour of the camel racetrack and the Sheikh Faisal Museum as well as horse stables. We took the tour through Qatar International Tours and it was a great morning of seeing the sites. Our guide was patient with me as I asked a lot of questions. Would definitely recommend this tour company and the experience.

The car came to pick us up at exactly 9 am. The tour started and Jay pretty much knew something interesting about each and every building we saw on the way out of the city. Each question we asked he was able to answer and provide some interesting story or information. The camel market/race track were really intriguing and we were able to take pictures of the camels and their robot trainers while they were on the go. We then went to the museum of Sheikh Faisal where we spent hour and thirty minutes. It was pretty cool although somewhat disorganised. I definitely recommend it however just be aware its not your regular museum since it has stuff from all around the world put together. There are guns, swords, furniture, cars, statues, really everything. Then we visited horse ranches, with beautiful European and Arabic horses where we were able to see how they are trained and taken care of. We went back to the hotel at exactly 1pm and on the way back we, again talked with Jay about some really interesting topics. Really good tour and tour guide, we definitely recommend the experience.
