Abdullah did the tour with us and another couple. The hotel pickup was super punctual. After that we started straight north. After a short karaoke tea break we continued to the sights. In addition to the planned activities, Abdullah has visited other attractive locations. Just a great day.

We are glad we did this tour to the north and west as we saw so many historical and cultural sites that we would not have otherwise visited.

Abdul Rehman was an excellent tour guide and driver. We had a very enjoyable trip visiting sites in Northern Qatar and ended our tour hilariously riding camels and Sand Bashing. It was rip- roaring fun!
