This tour is a rip-off. You will only be on the camels for 2 to 3 minutes just enough time to get a photo. . This was a waste of time and money.

We had an amazing experience with our tour in the desert with Nawafi. He is very accommodating. Nawafi took a lot of very nice photos for us. I highly recommend taking the tour with him because he is highly experienced. The tour was worth the price we paid for.

Nawafi is an amazing driver, great photographer and cool guy He helped us choose the perfect departure time, arrived exactly on schedule, and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. On the way to the desert he showed us the World Cup stadiums, took us to the camel-ride area, and we decided to upgrade to the camel experience for extra USD 40. In my opinion the cammel upgrade wasn’t worth it, as the ride was very short (15m) and we only climbed one dune. After that, he drove skillfully through the dunes and took us to several strategic spots for photos. He genuinely made sure we left with incredible shots — he’s very talented with the camera. We also stopped to watch a beautiful sunset in the desert. From the moment we left the hotel until the tour ended, the whole trip lasted about 4.5 hours. We also paid a extra fee so that, instead of taking us back to the hotel, he could drop us directly at the Formula 1 circuit — and he did it without any issue. Last but not least he lent me his phone charger as i was running out of battery. that saved me as i didnt had enogh battery for then showing the tickets in the Formula One GP recommended.

Nawafi is the best guide ever. He knows his way around in the dessert and on the street. Without a compas he navigates throught the dunes in the Dessert. A great experience👍🏻🎉✨

Our tour guide was Khalid certainly worth five stars. Great communication all through our tour assisting with photo opportunities and educating us on Qatar. We had such a fun time throughout. Khalid was friendly and made us feel safe on our tour especially with driving. He is very skilled and knowledgeable. Thank you Khalid if we ever get the opportunity again would like to try the daytime tour just to have a different perspective. Highly recommend to those that want a relaxing time by the inland sea and stars combined with fun.

Iskhaq was a great guide, super friendly and a great driver over the dunes. It’s quite an eerie experience driving in the dark over the dunes but beautiful nonetheless. The inland sea is lovely.

Abeed is the ultimate guide picking us up at the home on time, offering us water throughout the trip and making sure we are okay. It is very safe as we were 2 friends and allows renting only for 2. It was a good Service.
