5.00A good tour to see the northern part of Qatar, the points of interest, beautiful, the fort is very well preserved, but also you have the opportunity to know the Qatari highway system, which is impressive, in some sections above the roads of USA. Our guide was the great Bilal Hussain, I would recommend doing this tour first of all, then the City tour and lastly the desert tour
If you want to see life outside Doha it is a good trip for a half day
