This was a wonderful and very comprehensive tour. My guide Lloyd Shin was wonderful, cordial and very knowledgeable. I suggest this tour if you have a couple of days to know this wonderful city
The Doha desert tour was absolutely amazing and easily one of the highlights of my trip to Qatar. From start to finish, everything was well organized and exciting. Our guide was professional, friendly, and extremely skilled, especially during the thrilling dune bashing experience. Riding over the golden sand dunes was both exhilarating and fun, while still feeling very safe.
Great experience and amazing trip with Khoja, the hospitality was also good but they need to change the food................
It was an excellent experience and the driver was very nice and kind. We had fun in the dessert and it was an enjoyable trip.
We had a wonderful desert safari with Arshad — he is amazing! The whole trip was unforgettable, full of fun and great experiences. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an incredible safari adventure!
Great experience and great host Ahmad Jaan. This is our first time for desert activities and it is totally worth it. We did dune bashing, ATV, desert sunset, and swimming.
Montasif is a calm and cool driver. My family enjoy the tour and I will recommend montasif over and over again because of his experience in desert driving.

Or guide, Erick, was very knowledgeable and had an amazing personality!! My husband and I enjoyed spending the day in Doha learning about Qatari history and seeing the sites. Our tour began with a 10 am pick up from our hotel and our first stop was the State Mosque which was fantastic. While inside the mosque, we had a personal guide and ladies no need to worry about covering as they provide an abaya to wear. Our next stop was Souq Waqif where we learned about falconry and visited the falcon hospital. We wandered through the spice market and stopped by a cafe and learned how to play Dama (similar to checkers). Our next stop was a leisurely lunch at Souq Waqif which was delicious and super filling. We continued on to the Qatar National Museum which is absolutely stunning, I could have spent the whole day there!! Our next stop was Katara Cultural Village and ended the day with a quick drive through The Pearl neighborhood returning to our hotel around 5:30 pm. In total we walked about 4.5 miles. What to expect: hotel pick up and drop off, 6 person mini van with driver, water and soft drinks provided, lunch, knowledgeable tour guide.
