Brilliant afternoon with Zubair going north from Doha on a boiling summer day. Well planned and organized itinerary, very good vehicle and attentive, knowledgeable and zen guide/driver. Highly recommended if you have some time and want to get out of Doha.
We contacted Qatar International Tours from our hometown (Munich, Germany) by email to arrange a trip through the north of Qatar. Communication was easy, replies were very fast, and we received a great offer, which we paid before traveling. Once in Qatar, we stayed in touch via WhatsApp to organize meeting points and schedules. Everything went smoothly and effortlessly. We were picked up at our hotel in central Qatar and started our tour at 8:30 a.m. Our first stop was Al Khor, where we visited the fish market and went kayaking in the young mangroves that are now growing in Qatar. The boats were safe and family-friendly, making the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. Our tour guide, Mr. Prakash, knew the best timing, so we went at high tide, which allowed us to see the mangroves’ famous highlights: fish breeding grounds, colorful birds, and more. We had a small hiccup, we forgot our change of clothes at the hotel—but Mr. Prakash took us to a mall so we could buy dry clothes, turning it into a fun little adventure. Lunch at an Arabian restaurant was amazing, so many flavors, and truly delicious! Afterward, we visited the UNESCO World Heritage sites and returned to our hotel around 6 p.m. We are especially grateful to Mr. Prakash, who shared so much knowledge about Qatar, its history, and how life works in a country where people from so many different nations live together. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.
Thank you for the feedback
Zubair was a fantastic guide! We spent enough time at each of the destinations and took plenty of photos. We got to ask lots of questions about all things Qatar!
It was a great experience with Adventure Time Tourism. I had the pleasure of the tour arrangement with Mehti for sales and Abdul Sattar as the driver. Both gentlemen were very accommodating, hospitable and professional. With a special request, they allowed the addition of one location to the tour with a fee, as well as change the drop off location so I can continue with my own exploring of Qatar. The driver Abdul was very good. He spoke very clearly and well, and his driving was so comfortable that I napped easily while commuting between tour sites. Well done!! Have faith and book your tours with this company!

Great tour of the north. Private so on your own terms. Zubair was informative and patient with my many questions and time at the site. It’s a great tour. Only downside is that I visited Qatar in summer- go a different time of year of your schedule allows when it is cooler. The fort and archeological site was amazing!!!
Great tour - Mohammed was very informative. Was good to see lots of history of Qatar. I would definitely recommend. The Fort was very interesting.
