5.00We had such a wonderful experience from beginning to end! Our awesome tour guide, Asmat, went above and beyond to make our morning perfect. He is very knowledgeable about the camels and had answers to all of our questions. He made sure to take us all around the track and even took up close pictures with the camels and owners. We felt like VIP! Asmat was an excellent tour guide and professional photographer :) thank you for an amazing experience here in Qatar! Must request Asmat for your tour :)
