A beautiful evening on the water

5.00We had such a lovely experience on this dhow cruise — it genuinely exceeded our expectations. The Doha skyline looked absolutely stunning from the water, especially with the lights came on. Seeing the city illuminated from the sea was something really special and made for such beautiful photos. I was initially a little worried as it was quite windy on the day and I’m normally sensitive to boat motion, but I’m so glad we went. The sailing was smooth and comfortable, and I felt completely fine throughout. The crew clearly know the waters well and everything felt safe and relaxed. The food was really lovely, fresh, plentiful and very enjoyable, and the dinner service ran smoothly despite being on board. The staff were attentive, friendly and constantly checking that everyone was comfortable. A special thank you to Rizwan, who picked us up from our hotel and Abdullah Afridi, who was fantastic throughout the evening. He was so helpful with taking photos for us (and making sure we actually got good ones!), and his warm, professional manner really added to the whole experience. Overall, a beautiful and memorable way to see Doha, highly recommended!

2.00A great disappointment on my part. I should have been picked up at the hotel for the 7:00 program. I had to contact Viator Support because no info, no one to pick me up. I waited a total of one hour. Then I got the news first that it's canceled, then I can participate at 9:00, which I did. I paid 90 euros with dinner, which was kebab with fries wrapped in aluminium foil. However, Viator's help desk responded almost immediately after contacting them. For them a big bravo! Finally, I was able to take some pictures of Doha at night, at least, but the experience, considering the level of Qatar is more than mediocre.

5.00Afridi accompanied us. It was unfortunately a bit foggy but Afridi fulfilled all the wishes we had. The food was very delicious and sufficient for everyone even if the food without a table was eventful in itself.
Best view, best tour!
