Although we took this tour 6 months ago, we want to thank Sadiq for an excellent tour during our very long layover in Doha, flying from New Delhi to New York In February 2020. It was a private tour for two of us, with one needing a wheelchair. Although we were scheduled to start at 3:00 pm, it gets dark in Doha at 5 o'clock. Sadiq agreed to start earlier at 2 o'clock. He got wheelchairs at both major museums, and he helped push the wheelchair on a 90 minute guided tour of the National Museum - a very big help! And unlike many guided tours, we had a chance to get to know him as a person and learn about his family and work in Qatar. A wonderful gentleman!

Amazing and unique tour guided by Mr Bilal, a professional off road driver and tour guide. He took care of us all the time. We explored Musfur Sinnkole and the Singing Dunes. Musfur Sinkhole is a magical hiden place in the hearth of Qatar, it is the largest known sinkhole in Qatar. Then we moved to Singin Dunes. The dunes make a sound created by wind or frictions done by steps climbing or sliding down. Singing dunes have been discovered in only 30 desert around the world. We enjoyed the adventurous exploration, especially my son.

I wish I can give this business a 6 stars. Despite all the tourism restrictions due to Covid, I had a fantastic private tour. Lika was excellent providing information and options about the tour with fast communication. Arshad was my tour guide, and was extremely flexible with my schedule. I felt like meeting a longtime friend form the first Whatsapp message. During the tour, it was even better. Arshad shared with me the process of Iftar during Ramadan. He took me to the old city to experience Iftar and share with me their culture. I told Arshad that I will write something that I joked during the tour.. “Be ready to gain 10 pounds during the tour and drink a lot of traditional tea”. Arshad shared with me plenty of local and traditional food and drinks to spots that locals usually frequent. My experience during this tour with Arshad was like spending a few hours with a local friend. I saw and learn so much from him and he is open to learn from you as well. Lika & Arshad, Thank you for this memorable experience.

I love visiting historical places, travelling to this Souq, it is also travelling in time. It has many different stores with fantastic bargains. Many different clothes and artifacts from other times, amazing souvenirs. There are different places where you can find local food, as well as international food, all this is walking distance. Visiting the Souq was part of the highlights of my day.

Thank you 365 Adventures for this tour. Thank you Farhan (our driver) for the amazing experience. We started of with pictures with the falcon (or you can opt for a camel ride). Than the sand dunes adventure begins. Farhan made us squeel with excitement the entire ride on sand dunes. What made it special was we found a lost baby camel looking for its mama, which Farhan manage to reunite. The best moment of our sand dunes adventure. Drinks were provided and you can bring your snacks as well. Overall experience - 5 star!
