This exclusive journey will take you back to Qatar's past. From where it all started. The northern region of Qatar, which has a significant cultural past. The tour begins at Al Khor's harbor, which was once the country's center for pearl diving and fishing. An ancient ship repair and renovation yard. Following that, you will visit the Al-Thakira mangroves. Which is one of Qatar's hidden gems. Al-Thakhira Mangrove Forest is one of Qatar's oldest and largest woods. Then you'll visit Al Zubara Fort. This twentieth-century fort is the newest and most visible structure of the Al Zubarah Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A pristine specimen of a traditional Arab fort, with one-meter-thick walls warded.

Excellent day trip with Adil he was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for him. It’s a full day with lots of driving but so worth it for the history and sights. Adil gave us plenty of time at each stop and we have far more understanding and knowledge of the area than we ever thought we would. Great day Adil well done.

Did a North and west tour with Adil and two other tourists who were a couple. It's a good one. We saw Al Zubara, the abandoned village, Mangroves, fish market, the arts by Olafsson and Zera, camel racing track, rock landscapes, etc etc He even went beyond and saw some kite surfing at the sea side. I recommend

The tour in the north with Asim was a delight. ! Asim is an excellent guide and driver. ! All explanations, along the entire route were complete and documented. Asim is both a guide and a friend to all tourists. I recommend all tourists in Doha to order him for organized tours. Thank you Asim. !
