DINNER IS A LIE!!! Please don't believe what is written. Our tour was between 7 and 9 pm. We arrived at 7 pm. I showed them our booking from TripAdvisor, but they could not find our names. Then someone remembered our names and told us to wait in the waiting area. We waited until 7:30 and reminded them of what we should do. They said the dhows had already started to take off. Every time we reminded them about dinner. They told us to join the huge crowd in line. The system works like this: when a dhow is full, it takes off. It was chaos. Organization is zero: no one on staff knows what to do. Of course, there is no dinner on board. If you can find water somewhere on the dhow, you are lucky. It was 10 pm, and we were still on the dhow. It was a terrible experience that we would never recommend. If you are still planning, don't pay extra for dinner. There is no dinner. Prepare your own food and drinks.
The trip didn't happen. Cancelled by the boat owner. Nobody cares about the restitution of the money. To date, about 3 weeks later, the amount has not been transferred back. So you better not book anything here.
Beautiful night view of Doha. Boat was smooth. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I am not feeling well today so have nothing else to say. My illness has nothing to do with the boat ride.
The Dhow cruise was brilliant. The scenery magnifient. The tour guude, Miakam? was very informative and knowldgeable. Also took the best photos for everybody Chef and food excellent. Lights of City skyline amazing.
Nice boat ride with knowledgeable and friendly guide Moazzam. Decent food and good non-alcoholic drinks. Great views of the skyline
What a fantastic experience! I booked a dinner cruise around Doha Harbour through Viator and it exceeded expectations. Cruising past the stunning Doha skyline at night, with the water shimmering and a beautiful crescent moon above, made it incredibly special. The skipper was professional, friendly and very attentive, making everyone feel welcome and relaxed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was brilliant, and it was excellent value for money. And managed to get some amazing photos along the way. Highly recommended — a perfect way to experience Doha from the water.
We took a family tour (seven of us) on 17th February 2026, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The boat was spacious and comfortable, and the BBQ food was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to Moazzam, who took great care of us throughout the trip. He was friendly, attentive, and patiently answered all our questions. He also kindly helped us take photos of the beautiful views, making sure we captured some wonderful family memories. If you’re visiting Doha, this is definitely a must-do activity! It was a perfect way to spend a relaxing, chill evening together as a family. Highly recommended.
