But your stopover doesn’t end there. After the desert, step into Qatar’s vibrant culture & natural beauty. Start your journey with a guided Doha transit city tour through the capital’s most iconic landmarks from the scenic Doha Corniche and traditional Dhow Harbour to the modern luxury of The Pearl-Qatar and the cultural charm of Katara Cultural Village.

5.00It was quiet a fun trip! I had family visiting from the UK, and I wanted to tour them through Doha City as well as of course take them to the desert. This is such a well organized and worth the money tour. Definitely go for this if you are visiting Doha and want to explore both the City and the Desert in one go!
Fantastic tour

Wonderful 6 hours desert Safari trip in Qatar

5.00It was wonderful 6 hours trip, unlike any other experience in Dubai or Saudi, here it was different experience. we started at 2 pm, the safari team came and picked us up. Onward and return journey was fully in Sand Dunes trip. They gave nearly one and half hours to play in the inland sea. but due to the season, guide told us there is more jelly fish so we could not swim on the beach. finally sunset view on top of sand dunes was best part. overall very user friendly drivers who gave all the information.
Our favorite part of our trip

5.00We loved our 4 hour tour with 365 Adventures. They were super flexible when I realized the night before that jetlag would make an afternoon tour terrible for us. They switches us to 8 am easily. Our guide, Salman, was kind and very patient with my son and my questions. We loved getting to ride camels and hold a falcon, but the best part was the sandbashing. We were laughing and shouting - it felt like a roller coaster. The singing dunes were very cool and the inland sea was so beautiful. I will recommend this tour to everyone I know who goes to Qatar.

5.00An amazing tour - highly recommended. Salman our tour guide was great. Started with an on time pickup and throughout was very responsive to our requests and questions. He gave insightful details of Doha and surrounding areas on our way to the Sand Safari - and what a safari it was. A once in a lifetime opportunity. A must if visiting Doha.

5.00We had a very memorable tour at the desert safari in the sand dunes watching the majestic sunrise. It is a testament to the wonders of God’s creation and God’s faithfulness in our lives. Our tour guide, SOHAIL, was very accommodating, friendly, and well informed. He answered all our inquiries about Qatar. He took great pictures which are Instagrammable--worthy. The camel ride and the photo with the falcon seemed scary but was pleasantly surprising. Thanks Sohail for the tip on how to spread the falcon’s wings. We will definitely recommend this trip to friends who will be visiting Qatar. We are so grateful to have chosen to experience this….indeed, one for the books!! Something to add to our treasure chest of amazing memories in Qatar. Thank you, Sohail. You’re the BEST! 👍🤩
