Complete experience for those who have 1 day in Doha.
Our guide was amazing all the time. We were unfortunate that another vehicle crashed near our own and this delayed the tour, and yet the guide stayed behind the schedule, took amazing photos with us, accompanied us throughout the day and dedicated a lot to our experience. Besides very honest and friendly. Of those people you admire and worship for your good!

Ayub was fantastic and made the trip great
What an awesome experience! Our guide Ayub showed us a great time and sand dune driving was fantastic! I highly recommend this excursion.

The desert was very nice,...
The desert was very nice, but the city visit was missing the historic or informative side. Probably doing the dunes and the city tour was a compromise, finding a good driver for the dunes bashing with a city guide capabilities is not easy?

...too expensive...not worth it...most of the time just sitting in the car, getting no information. Waste of time
