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.

Asmat was so knowledgeable and truly amazing. Spending the afternoon with him was truly breathtaking and I’d highly recommend him to anyone coming to Qatar. I would definitely opt to have him take us on all of our future tours. He also takes the best pictures.

It was another great day with our tour guide, Mr Asmat who made our visit to the North Heritage a memorable one. We are glad to have had him guide us through the cultural heritage of the North Qatar where there is preservation of the original economic activities of the country. We were able to see the Fish market, the purple island, Zubar port and Jumil village. It was an excellent job and we recommend him any day for the guide.
