Terrible dinner

I had a very disappointing experience with the service. The dinner arrived cold, there were very few food options available, and no sugar-free soft drinks. Honestly, it wasn’t worth the cost. I do not recommend it.

Night harbour cruise

We had a lovely night cruise round the harbour. It was quite a large dhow cruiser but only 7 guests which was nice. The guide was very helpful in answering questions and the view was spectacular. The food was great and very plentiful. Overall a lovely cruise about 90mins in duration.

Awesome Tour with Awesome Tour Leader Guide

The boat tour with the Doha skyline view was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Seeing the city lights reflected on the water at night creates an incredible atmosphere. The food on board was delicious and everything was well organized. A special thanks goes to our tour leader Moazzam — he was extremely friendly, explained everything clearly, and made sure all guests felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience. You can really tell he cares about his guests and loves what he does.
