Great experience and learning about Qatar’s land and history

Sadiq was very friendly and gave us lots of Qatar history lessons and explained why several heritage towns were abandoned and renewal now. It was a terrific experience for us. Travelling to the shadows of the sea was very impressive. Thanks so much Sadiq👍

Asmat is the best tour guide 👯

Asmat was so knowledgeable and truly amazing. Spending the afternoon with him was truly breathtaking and I’d highly recommend him to anyone coming to Qatar. I would definitely opt to have him take us on all of our future tours. He also takes the best pictures.
