5.00It was a great tour! We saw everything listed and the guide Abdul Rehman was excellent! He was knowledgeable, polite and on time! The Zubara fort is nice and the abandoned village next to the sea is beautiful at sunset. The mangrove was cool to see.
Well worth the money.

5.00Got off to a slightly rocky start when I wasn't picked up at my hotel as they "weren't aware" of my booking (made 2 weeks prior). However, after that delay, everything was back on track and it was a wonderful tour of Al Khor, the mangroves and Al Zubara. Our guide Abdul Rehman was very knowledgeable and gave us a running commentary. Despite the blip on the pick-up, it was an excellent tour, which lasted over 4 hours.
A tour close to nature and to the past

5.00The tour was educational and all the sites we're breathtaking in themselves. It shows the culture and natural beauty around Qatar. Abdul Rehman was knowledgeable and answered questions posted during the tour. Was clear and concise with what to expect. This tour is recommended for anyone who would like to take a trip outside the usual city lights of Qatar. Grace & Benedict
Saad is an amazing tour guide.
