Sadiq was very friendly and gave us lots of Qatar history lessons and explained why several heritage towns were abandoned and renewal now. It was a terrific experience for us. Travelling to the shadows of the sea was very impressive. Thanks so much Sadiq👍

This tour is a very good way to get to know other parts of Qatar than Doha, including its history. Sadiq, our guide was very helpful and told us a lot of interesting information about the history and way of life in Qatar.
