Great combo tour - desert safari & city tour

Our guide NaQash was fabulous. We choose the combo desert safari / city tour as we had a long layover in Doha. NaQash picked us up from the airport with excellent communication via WhatsApp. It was the 31st May - very hot and windy in the desert but still lots of fun and totally worth seeing - due to the temperature & wind we chose not to camel ride or do any of the extra desert activities but that didn’t detract from the experience. We loved NaQash’s tour of old and new Doha city. He was an excellent guide - always stopping for photo opportunities. The 4WD was air-conditioned and we were in and out of the car for short stops to take photos. He was very flexible with the tour - constantly checking if we were ok to keep walking when it was hot or if we needed to get back in the car. He had cold bottled water available. Very glad we did this day tour - even if it wasn’t the best time of year to see Doha it was totally worth it.
