I booked and paid. 2 hours before tour to comence, i get a whatapp the tour is cancelled but for USD$ 100 more they can accomdate me. Viator refuses to acknowledge, intimating it is my fault. I phoned call centre, assured a refund, now they refuse. Viator to this day believes Icancelled the tour and the Tour Operator was there. I have proof of all correspondence? they still keep my money. A scam where they got your money, but if you want to go on the tour, pay more. So Iwas held to ransom. Why viator not advise me timeously, dont know. They should have known the evening before amd advise accordingly. Nowhere does it say when you book, if not enough people on tour, they may change or I can request a refund. They wait 2hours, cancel and keep my money. A scam

Enjoy the ride
This tour was absolutely worth it. Mohammed Syed was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. The number of camels you see on this trip is something you may never experience again in your lifetime

Disappointing.
While our initial interaction with Akhtar was pleasant, the rest of the tour was disappointing.
With regards to the trip, he was keener to finish on time than complete ALL the itinerary we paid for. He had to be reminded of the Zekreet Fort as he skipped it totally offering some untenable excuses and reasons.
His driving was also a bit reckless on some of the dessert roads which was quite concerning.
Throughout the trip, he was a little bit cold and unenthusiastic towards tourists, such as offering no insights into landmarks as we drove past or assistance with photos. He was no better than just a uber driver than a tour guide.
He did not come across as “hungry” for the job nor the earnings that come from it!
I would not recommend him for future trips.

Fantastisc
I had a wonderful excursion to West Qatar, including an exciting visit to a camel race, and it was truly a memorable experience. Our tour guide, Saloo, made the trip even more special. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the tour. He shared interesting information about the region and made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. The landscapes of West Qatar were beautiful, and seeing the camel race up close was unique and fascinating. Thanks to Saloo’s professionalism and positive energy, the whole experience was smooth, fun, and highly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Qatar!

Worth a look
Interesting trip out into the desert. The camels were the best part. Saad explained everything in detail. If you only have 1/2a day, this is a good option.

Very worthwhile tour
We enjoyed our tour to the west of Qatar, with our guide Aktar, who was very friendly and knowledgeable.
The camel racing track was interesting, we saw lots of racing camels.
Mushroom rock and Umbrella rock are worth visiting and taking photos.
The Richard Sierra sculptures are impressive.
All in all a great tour.
