Take a deep dive into Qatar’s desert landscapes, pursuits, and culture without worrying about transport or planning on this private tour from Doha. Settle inside a 4WD and absorb the experience while leaving everything to your guide. Take a dune bash and sandboard, sip tea, and visit the Inland Sea, a saltwater sea framed by dunes. Hotel, airport, or port pickup and drop-off make everything super-easy.

180 min

If you're looking to delve into the northern region of Qatar, a visit to its two largest cities, Al Khor and Adh Thakhira, might be the perfect choice. Al Khor is a coastal city located north of the capital, Doha, and is known for its picturesque scenery. The city's name, which means "creek" in Arabic, is an accurate reflection of its location. While you're there, be sure to visit Albayt Stadium, one of the venues for the 2022 World Cup. Additionally, you can leisurely stroll along Al Khor corniche, visit the fisherman dhow harbor, and explore the bustling fish market. Once you've finished exploring Al Khor, take a trip to Adh Thakhira, a charming village that serves as a home to fishermen and pearl divers. It's an excellent opportunity to learn about Qatar's rich history and culture and immerse yourself in local life.

Tour the heart of Qatar

An incredible experience with Amir, and Falcon tours. Make sure to book one day extra when coming to Qatar to see this. It builds a complete picture of Qatar, the life here, traditions, culture, and what makes Qatar special. Remember that Doha is just a little piece of a massive puzzle of what is Qatar.

ammozing day with javid

Javid is a kind and well-informed guide; we got the chance to discover mangrove fields and the purple island at our own speed. Before we had a quick stop at the fishing port of al khor and finished with a memorable visit to al zubarah fort -to learn about Quatari history. Very recommendable!
