Traveler reviews
Good guide, little to see...
Maybe not the right season for this trip, but if you don't have a choice.... Simply not much to see, unfortunately.
History tour of Northern Qatar
A great tour to learn about the early history about Qatar and to see the northern part of the country in half a day
Great Tour
The tour was amazing. Al Khor, Purple Island, Zubara Fort and the Al Jumail abandoned village are beautiful places. Anees was an amazing tour guide. 5 stars.
Depends a lot on the guide
Our group (4 people) was picked up from the hotel in the Landcruiser. We had a very young guide who drove us from one point to another. There were no explanations for the individual stages, so he was more rider than tour guide. Also the specified time per stop is not correct, that always includes the arrival. So from 45 min Al Khor stayed 5 minutes, in the fish market, one round, out and on. The Purple Island can be reached with a brisk sprint over the jetty in the planned 15 minutes stop, there, back, further. Fortunately, the Zubara Fort is equipped with many notice boards, so you can make yourself known. The tea or coffee mentioned in the itinerary was cancelled due to Ramadan. Overall, the tour is already very interesting, the contrast between Doha and the hinterland could not be greater.
Nice getaway from the city
Nice tour and getaway from the city. Rizwan was a good driver and caring guide.
