An Unforgettable Doha Desert Tour Experience
The Doha desert tour was absolutely amazing and easily one of the highlights of my trip to Qatar. From start to finish, everything was well organized and exciting. Our guide was professional, friendly, and extremely skilled, especially during the thrilling dune bashing experience. Riding over the golden sand dunes was both exhilarating and fun, while still feeling very safe.

Full day tour in Doha with lunch
Or guide, Erick, was very knowledgeable and had an amazing personality!! My husband and I enjoyed spending the day in Doha learning about Qatari history and seeing the sites. Our tour began with a 10 am pick up from our hotel and our first stop was the State Mosque which was fantastic. While inside the mosque, we had a personal guide and ladies no need to worry about covering as they provide an abaya to wear. Our next stop was Souq Waqif where we learned about falconry and visited the falcon hospital. We wandered through the spice market and stopped by a cafe and learned how to play Dama (similar to checkers). Our next stop was a leisurely lunch at Souq Waqif which was delicious and super filling. We continued on to the Qatar National Museum which is absolutely stunning, I could have spent the whole day there!! Our next stop was Katara Cultural Village and ended the day with a quick drive through The Pearl neighborhood returning to our hotel around 5:30 pm. In total we walked about 4.5 miles. What to expect: hotel pick up and drop off, 6 person mini van with driver, water and soft drinks provided, lunch, knowledgeable tour guide.
