Al khor est la 2ème grande ville du Qatar, à Al khor, les voyageurs visiteront le vieux port où ils verront les anciens bateaux de style qu'ils utilisaient pour la pêche dans le passé et encore ils utilisent les bateaux en bois pour la pêche.
Purple Island, situé au nord-est du Qatar près d'Al Khor, est un endroit naturel tranquille connu pour ses mangroves époustouflantes, sa faune aviaire vibrante et ses lagons peu profonds. Parfait pour les amateurs de plein air, il offre des possibilités de kayak, d'observation des oiseaux et de promenades paisibles au milieu de paysages pittoresques. L'île est également historiquement significative, autrefois un centre pour la production de teintures anciennes, ce qui lui donne son nom unique.
Le fort de Zubara, situé au nord-ouest du Qatar, est un fort historique du désert construit en 1938 par le cheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani. À l'origine poste militaire, il a depuis été transformé en musée mettant en valeur le riche patrimoine culturel du Qatar. Le fort est doté de murs épais, de tours de guet distinctives et d'une cour centrale, toutes représentant l'architecture traditionnelle qatarie. À proximité, le site archéologique d'Al Zubarah, classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, révèle les ruines d'une ancienne ville perlière et commerçante, faisant du fort de Zubara une destination clé pour les passionnés d'histoire.
Jumail Village est un village de pêcheurs abandonné situé sur la côte nord-ouest du Qatar. Autrefois une colonie prospère, le village est aujourd'hui en ruines, offrant aux visiteurs un aperçu de la vie traditionnelle qatarie avant la modernisation rapide du pays. Le site abrite des maisons en ruine, des mosquées et d'autres structures, ce qui en fait un endroit paisible mais évocateur pour les passionnés d'histoire et les photographes intéressés à explorer le passé du Qatar.

I had a one day tour with Muzzi - he drove me and my mom to all sightseeing spots he could think of. I was surprised in the variety of the impressions - from historic places to beautiful landscapes and last but not least seeing the desert. The camel race area is a must see. Muzzi explained everything and he served as a perfect host throughout the whole day.
Wonderful experience, very positive and interesting driver. Places on a trip are good as well as drive in a car. I recommend it to everyone
It was a beautiful experience. The locations are beautiful and very photogenic, not crowded at all, we were almost alone at all the locations. The driver was absolutely amazing and answered all the questions we had. Would absolutely recommend!
Loved it, the tour guide was really interesting and it was comfortable ride. Amazing experience. I would recommend it for every one.
Loved it, good tour guide, it was really fun and its worth going. I would recommend it for everyone who is visiting Qatar and loves nature and loves learning about the culture
It was amazing, the tour guide is really interesting he gave us many recomendations and learned some croatian sayings, we explained our history and he explained Qatar’s history, really educational, would reccomend!
Tour guides are really nice, kind and know a lot about Qatar. Trip was very nice, we saw the Mangrove forest, Purple island, abandoned villages and the fortress. I would go again on this trip.
It was amazing tour. Arum told us about history of Qatar and we visit different places.Mangroves and fort was fascinating sites and we enjoyed the tour
I had booked this as a solo traveler, but made it part of a shared trip (i.e. other groups could be added to my tour). Nobody else added, so at the last minute the tour operator told me that it would be a private tour and tried to charge me 3x the price. My only other option was to go on a 4-hour shared tour of Doha, which is what I did. That was a decent tour, but not what I signed up for. Asking for 3x the price just because nobody else signed up wasn't fair--I shouldn't get charged more just because nobody else signed up for the tour, as that's not my fault. As a result, I never saw this part of Qatar. The substitute 4-hour tour of Doha was the same as what many others offer (and I had already booked another Viator tour of Doha), so I made the best of a bad situation. If you really want to go on this tour...this may not be your best option.
We are really sorry for inconvenience and we will look for the issue and will try not to repeat the same mistake
Our guide Arum picked us up on time in a comfortable vehicle at the hotel in Doha, and then we first went via Al Khor, where we briefly visited an old fishing port, to the mangrove forests in the northwest, where we had the opportunity to explore part of the nature reserve on a wooden jetty. Afterwards we drove further northeast to the fortress of Al Zubara. Here we had ample opportunity to explore the fortress and the interesting museum (was included in the price). Afterwards we stopped at a larger excavation site where an ancient settlement of Qatari pearl divers is gradually being uncovered. Then we went back to Doha. We would particularly like to praise our great guide Arum, who has a huge historical, social and general knowledge of Qatar and has provided us with information in a polite, unobtrusive and entertaining way - highly recommended! Overall a nice four-hour tour where you could learn a lot about the country. Not recommended for children, though, because maybe not spectacular enough.
