Mohammed was amazing guide and the tour is a great opportunity to see Qatar insights and to enjoy local environment outside of Doha. Compact tour with great nature, art and traditions highlights, strongly recommended if you have short time, but still want to explore Qatar sights 🙏☀️

What a fabulous tour!! My guide Mohammad has been great. He picked me up from my hotel I perfect time. Safe drive on the way to mushroom rock and Richard Serra sculpture, lovey chat. Booking for just one person is double the price unfortunately, shame La Vacanza Travel dies not offer solo travellers prices. Overall it's been a pricey but beautiful experience. Highly recommended
