Touring Doha by night with Bilal was great !

The two of us had an excellent evening private tour with Mr. Bilal. The pace was just right as we visited all landmarks. He recommended a good local restaurant at Souq Waqif market as the last stop for dinner. Wished we had more time to see the market because most shops closed as 10pm. We highly recommend Bilal as he spoke fluent english, courteous & knowledgeable.
