Had a great experience touring Souq Waqif and eating yummy Qatari food. Javid was a great guide and took me to shops that were selling items I was looking for.

Emir was a wonderful tour guide. We took photos near the skyline and got to walk around the souq waqif - he took us around the falcon market and we also saw horses and camels. He walked us through various shops and took us to eat at a local restaurant. Recommend this for a short tour!

I love all the details that Javid was able to provide about the country and its culture. The length of the tour is perfect (not too long, not too short) and there’s a good balance between museums and souq. The food came last and it was so so good. We were able to try different dishes and experiences the traditional dining seating! I recommend 100% this tour and also Javid! He was awesome!

We only had one night in Doha and wanted a local guide to show us the Souq. Our guide Javid did not disappoint. He was punctual, courteous and knowledgeable. We saw camels and falcons, the falcon hospital and Arabian horses. It was fascinating. Javid also taught us how to play Damas. Dinner at the restaurant in the Souq was also incredible. We give a 10/10!

Fun tour through the main market of Doha, complete with falcons, shopping, and a delicious traditional dinner! I highly recommend Javid, he was a great guide and very knowledgeable!! I would recommend booking a tour later in the afternoon to see the market at its peak.
