I did a solo tour with Hussain and he was the kindest. He knows what he’s talking about and is also helpful. I got lost trying to find the meet up point and ran out of data and Hussain waited for me for a long time then helped me with his internet and buying a SIM card. I definitely recommend his tours.

The tour through Souq Waqif was a fantastic experience! Hussain was very welcoming and created a relaxed, open and enjoyable atmosphere from the start. We explored the vibrant market streets, stopped at several great spots for photos, and even caught the camel parade - an unexpected highlight! Hussain also shared cultural insights that added so much depth to the visit. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a fun, informative, and authentic introduction to one of Doha’s historical sights!
Excellent informative tour!
