This was a fantastic tour! First just to say that our guide Yam, was exceptional. He made us feel very comfortable and had a wealth of detailed knowledge about the history, art and culture of Doha and Qatar in general. Every part of the tour was a highlight, but just to give a flavour for other visitors: We drove down the Corniche part beautiful buildings, stopped for photographs, visited the Kultur village and the Pearl Island, at various places we stopped for walking tours with out guide acompanying us all the way. Every stop had magnificent views and buildings. We then went on a dhow ride across the bay, viewing the lights of the sky scrapers as the sun had set, it was magical. Our final stop was the souk, where we visited the camel stable, falcon shops and hospital, the spice market and others. We finished our tour by having a quick dinner at a Syrian restaurant in the middle of the Souk, and the food was exceptional. Thank you to Yam for making it such an informative and magical experience in only 4 hours!
