Traveler reviews
Visiting North Qatar and its World Heritage site Al Zubarah fort
I had a great time with my guide Javid from Falcon Tours checking out North Qatar, including the old fishing village of Al Khor where they still follow an older lifestyle and fishing dhows are not just for tourists. It was cool to visit actual mangroves-not something I expected in Qatar. But the highlight was seeing the World Heritage Fort, which is a reconstruction due to is destruction earlier times. To get the most out of this fort visit, I highly recommend visiting the National museum even prior, which has a comprehensive history of Qatar, including a great review of Al Zubarah and the importance of pearl fishing traditionally. It’s very insightful and interesting. Javid was such a good guide, he helped me take some great videos including some he took and added great tips for improves photos! Very cool guide 🙏🙏
Great tour…Mangroves
Amir was an outstanding tour guide! En route to my kayaking trip, he shared so much knowledge about Doha, from its history and culture to hidden gems along the way. His passion for the city and ability to make the experience engaging made the tour both fun and educational. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and insightful experience.
