5.00Or 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.

5.00We had a great tour with Feras Asad! At first there was a mix up with the booking from the hotel, but Feras sorted it out very quickly, so our tour went as planned. Feras consulted with us on our wishes, so we stoped at a sand buggy place additionally before going camel riding and dune bashing. We spent the evening at a nice camp with a simple, jet good meal. Feras Asad was friendly, humorous and generally a good sport. We would highly recommend him as a tour guide!
This city is modern ,beautiful and exciting.
