Great Introduction to Doha

Really enjoyed the personal tour of two separate markets in Qatar. Receiving a personalized orientation to the Souq Waqif by our guid, Junaid, made shopping and dining there later on much easier and enjoyable to navigate. We appreciated seeing the Souq Al Wakra, clearly a place where local residents spend their evenings by the beach dining and shopping. Our guide was engaging, easy to talk with and had great recommendations of how to spend our time in Doha.
