We would recommend this tour. Our guide, Junaid, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job teaching us about the Souq Waqif. The falconry was definitely the highlight. The lunch we had was very good and he also made sure we had vegetarian options. We would recommend the tour especially with Junaid

I had a great experience touring with Amir, who was kind, generous and very informative. We started off looking at the city skyline which is unique and with so many amazing futuristic buildings, then we moved into the souk. This was a great experience seeing all the diverse parts from falcons, to spices, textiles and clothing as well as souvenirs! Amir helped me purchase a very nice memento to take home and organised for a tasting of local spiced tea, consumed with dates that was delicious. We finished up eating lunch at an authentic local restaurant with enough tasty food for an army 😆. Great tour!

Amir, my guide made today’s’ tour a wonderful excursion that showcased the beauty of Doha’s amazing skyline, together with the wonders of the enormous Souk. We saw so much and his kindness and generosity made this a very special day out. We tried blacktop with spices, accompanies with dates (delicious). After some hard bargaining in one of the shops, we ended the tour with a delicious local lunch! Thank you Amir!!
