5.00Great trip to see Qatar! Javid took us to three sites ( a fishing area/market for processing fresh fish, a mangrove swamp and purple island and then the Al Zubarah fortress replica) . This provides a fairly thorough coverage of the key attractions of Qatar that are not in Doha. He also provided us with chilled water bottles during the trip and took great pictures of us at different locations!
Amazing experience

Mangrove forest is the highlight

5.00Our guide Junaid was great, we got to know much more about Qatar and its life and history. Tour itself was also nice, with Mangrove forest as a highlight. Rest of the places (fish market and fortress) were nothing that special but stilll worth to visit if you are already here.
An excellent experience with Junaid
