Visite privée du nord du Qatar
Description
La région nord du Qatar se caractérise par une géographie diversifiée qui englobe à la fois des zones côtières et intérieures. La zone côtière nord du Qatar s’étend le long du golfe Persique. Elle est connue pour ses plages de sable pittoresques. En s'éloignant de la côte, la géographie du nord du Qatar se transforme en vastes étendues de plaines plates et sablonneuses. La péninsule d'Al Zubarah est une caractéristique géographique importante du nord du Qatar. Elle abrite le site archéologique d'Al Zubarah (site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO). Ces plaines sont surtout remarquables pour le village d'Al-jubail et ses écosystèmes de mangroves, en particulier dans des zones comme Al Thakira et Purple Island. Nous vous offrirons l’occasion de découvrir les trésors marins et intérieurs du Qatar.

Itinéraire
Al Khor est une ville côtière du nord du Qatar, située à 50 kilomètres au nord de la capitale Doha. Considérée comme l'une des plus grandes villes du Qatar, elle est la capitale de la municipalité d'Al Khor. Le nom de la ville signifie ruisseau en arabe ; on lui a donné ce nom parce que la colonie d'origine a été construite sur un ruisseau.
Située au nord-est du Qatar, l’île Bin Ghannam, communément appelée Purple Island, est un lieu incontournable. À une heure de route de Doha, près de la ville d’Al Khor, l’île est célèbre pour sa beauté naturelle, sa flore et sa faune exotiques, et est idéale pour une excursion d’une journée pour toute la famille.
Le fort d'Al Zubara a été construit à l'origine par Cheikh Abdullah bin Jassim al Thani en 1938 pour servir de poste de garde-côte, bien que certains affirment qu'il a été construit pour servir de poste de police. Il a ensuite été rénové en musée pour présenter diverses expositions et œuvres d'art, notamment des découvertes archéologiques d'actualité contemporaine.
Al Jumail est un village abandonné habité par la tribu Alkubaisi au nord-est du Qatar, situé dans la municipalité d'Al Shamal. C'était une ville importante de la péninsule nord avant le 21e siècle. Les colonies voisines comprennent Ruwayda au sud-ouest et Yusufiyah et Abu Dhalouf au nord.

Going see the culture of early Qatar at fort zubara was great the price was decent and we had really nice weather in December for it
Nothing very exciting to see on this tour. The Purple Island is disappointing, long walk in the sun, little to see. The fort is small, only built in 1938. The history of the region is interesting. The ruins at Al Jumail are just 500 year old ruins...
Besides the desert safari this is one of the rare chances to do a tour outside the Doha and Lusail city boundaries. Waleed was our tour guide for the afternoon, and he picked us from our hotel in Doha. The drive was smooth as the roads are very good. There was not much activity at the stopping points. This meant our stops were relatively short. The best stop of the day was actually the restaurant that Waleed recommended and where he dropped us; the Afghan Brothers restaurant along the Ahmed Bin Ali street.
It was a memorable one I’d never forget thank you so much I really had fun and gained experience it was really great thanks
Yousaf was a kind and informative tour guide! He worked around my schedule to see the highlights while making sure I got back in time for a second tour I had booked. It was great going outside of Doha to see more of what Qatar has to offer!
The North tour was another unique and unforgettable experience! Ismail and KJ were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing their insights and patiently answering all our questions. The mangrove forest is fantastic- walked along the wooden pathway and we saw water snails, crabs and fishes. Zubara fort was unique, and it was great to learn about the history and how people lived at that time. We would highly recommend visiting the ‘Shadows traveling on the sea of the day’ - got some great pictures there. The archaeological site at Al Jumail is also worth a visit and we watched the sunset there with some great views over the ocean! Everything ran smoothly, and it was truly a memorable day! Overall, a fantastic tour, wonderful opportunity to learn more about Qatar and great value for money!
This was our first tour with Walleed, and your company and were very impressed with it, enjoying the other aspects of Qatar, the fish market, and the old forts. Walleed was very informative and courteous and we look forward to our second tour to the west coast hopefully with him as our guide. Alan Learmonth .
Very boring tour. There’s nothing to see, and the 4hs drive is extremely monotonous in between places. had 4 x 2mins stops in places where I didn’t even know what they were, as my guide had little English. Don’t get me wrong, he was super kind and attentive, and drove super well. Car was perfect, and had water a juice for me. but very little information about the places, the city or the tour itself. For an almost 200€ tour, I was expecting way more. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone in Doha.
We had a great tour of northern Qatar with Hamad. We were sent pickup instructions the day before via WhatsApp and were promptly picked up at the allotted time. The tour went to the fish market at Al Khor, purple island mangroves, Al Zubar fort, Shadows traveling on the Sea sculpture and Jumsil abandoned village. Highlights were definitely the fort and sculpture, which are both great photo ops. Good tour, exceeded my expectations and appreciated Hamad’s information on things like Doha on the drive.

Our trip went safe and sound. The driver is also our tour guide. He was able to answer our questions about the places even if its not part of the tour. What we like most is the "shadows travelling by the sea" by olafur elliason.
