We Loved Learning About The Camel Racing Culture
We enjoyed our tour immensely to learn about the camel racing culture. We saw teams of camels getting ready for the upcoming race season. We drove along side the camels in the owner’s lane while we learned about the training, prizes, rules, process and most importantly the jockey robots. Next we were off to the Faisal Museum to see a masterful collection of local and regional artifacts. We would highly recommend our professional and knowledgeable guide Javid. He was also a very safe and courteous driver.
great tour with Amire. Cultural tour.
Amire is a very good guide. Punctual, friendly and helpful. A suitable answer for every question. No hassle throughout the tour. Should we go back to Qatar, tour only with Amire.
