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!

Explore the west cost of Qatar and take the chance to see the majestic views of the west coast. Zekreet Fort has been dated to the late 18th or early 19th century. The fort's shape is quadrangular with four circular watchtowers to see the unique Umbrella shaped Stone hut nestling on a limestone hill , then moving to visit the Film city was built in Zekreet for use in film production.

To guarantee perfect alignment, Serra examined the topography of the land and beautifully enhanced the vast, desolate space in the heart of the desert. The result is spectacular and although modern, timeless.

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.

Picked up from your hotel in the city or from an agreed location, you will be driven to Sealine Beach, 85 km south of Doha. During the 1 hour ride, you will be able to take in the sights of the city, its suburbs and the countryside. Following a brief stop at Sealine Beach, where our professional drivers will first deflate the tires, we abandon the boring tarmac for the exhilarating dune bashing experience - breath-taking, roller-coaster drives across the desert. There are different paths through the dunes, from an extreme, fast and bumpy ride to a smooth and casual drive. The desert safari tour will also take you to the wonders of the inland sea (Khor al-Udaid) with its white sandy beaches and pristine, crystal clear water near the Qatar-Saudi Arabian border. On afternoon trips you would also be able to enjoy watching the sunset before heading back to Doha.

Inclusions: Pickup and drop of service, 4X4 air conditioned , vehicle insurance, Coffee and/or Tea, Bottled water, Private transportation, Camel Ride ( additional 20 QR per person )
