Jayie.

This time I followed the group on a small loop in northern Qatar and got a deep sense of Qatar's history and culture, as well as its beautiful coastline to the north. The guide was very patient, the instructions were in place and took care of me along the way. Overall, it was a great experience.

Qatar summer experience

Great tour of Northern Qatar; Sad couldn’t go to the Olafur Eliasson art installation as the road was closed. Only did 3 of the 4 itinerary but the rest of the experience was good.
