5.00The boat tour with the Doha skyline view was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Seeing the city lights reflected on the water at night creates an incredible atmosphere. The food on board was delicious and everything was well organized. A special thanks goes to our tour leader Moazzam — he was extremely friendly, explained everything clearly, and made sure all guests felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience. You can really tell he cares about his guests and loves what he does.
