4.00Our booking was for 5pm and so we spent the afternoon sightseeing. While doing this we received a text message that the driver would collect us at 3.40pm. I said to cancel the boat cruise but they sent a taxi to collect us. The driver had no idea of where he was to drop us off but in the end we found the boat and had our cruise. I should say that it was quite cold out on the water.
Zohaib (tour guide) provided us with world class service

5.00Me and my wife had such a great time during our boat cruise. Our tour guide Zohaib went above and beyond to provide us with excellent service and even suggested things us to do here in Qatar seeing as we’re on our honeymoon. He is absolute credit to the company he works for.

5.00Sajid was our driver and guide. He was very communicative for pick up. The boat ride was fun. Music was good and we got to see the city skyline come to life after sunset.
Kind and accommodating operators

4.00The guide and the company for this tour were FABULOUS. The cruise itself was a bit meh. I had requested a 5pm pick-up to catch the sunset, but the guide messaged me and kept changing the time (4.40pm … 4.50pm … then at 5pm he was at the wrong hotel … and finally arrived to pick me up around 5.10pm). I was driven to the dhow harbor in a private car, arriving 15 minutes later. It turned out to be just 4 passengers plus my guide and the captain on the dhow … and we were off sailing about 5 minutes later. My guide (Habib) was fantastic, always looking out for his guests and making sure they had everything they needed, including answers to any questions … he was always smiling and always present (10 out of 5 stars for him!), which was very impressive. The “cruise” itself was a bit meh — it was 50 minutes long and we sailed out toward West Bay and then just sat there in the bay for a bit, waiting for the sunset………I guess it’s rare you’ll get a really good sunset in Qatar most days (not the fault of the cruise!), considering there aren’t really any clouds! But we did get to go out to the FIFA World Cup statue, which I had only seen from afar, so that was pretty cool! Almost like sailing around the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Awesome seeing so many boats out in the harbor at the same time, and the music definitely added to the vibe.
Great boat cruise

Dhow Cruise worth it; driver guide not

3.00We ordered the longer more expensive longer adventure on trip advisor specifically so we could hear commentary during the ride to and from the cruise and on the cruise itself since the captain provides no such commentary. Th driver picked us up 20 minutes late and took backstreets to take some woman to her hotel instead of driving by any sights on the way to the cruise and did the same thing with a different woman he took as a favor to his friend on the way back to our hotel. He spent the whole time on the boat looking at his phone providing no input on the skyline sights. Either walk or order an Uber to the dhow cruise and enjoy the cruise for 1/3 of what this tour cost!
Dhow Cruise in Doha.

3.00The timing of the cruise being as the sun was setting and the lights of Doha coming on, was the real highlight. Meeting the appropriate boat among the many, proved a little difficult but was overcome. The boat, a genuine Dhow was sufficiently comfortable, with water provided. The sunset was beautiful and the bright lights of Doha startling. The guide could have given a more comprehensive description of what we were looking at, although his help in taking photographs rather than “selfies”, was appreciated. Other similar cruises appeared more lively however and may have been a better choice.
