I had a wonderful experience with Arabian Desert Tourism Qatar. The tour was perfectly on time, Jasim and Hasham were awesome and showed a keen interest in understanding my priorities. They made sure I had ample time at each stop to truly absorb the city’s highlights and capture great photos without feeling rushed. The guide was extremely informative and engaging, sharing insightful knowledge that made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. I would recommend Arabian Desert Tourism Qatar anytime. If I return to Doha, they will definitely be my first choice to organize my trip.

Jasim and the driver were excellent. Jasim provided us with four plus hours of site seeing and information about Doha and was a pleasure to spend time with. He was patient with us and knew so much about Doha that he never once did not know an answer to any of our questions. He was very flexible and was sensitive to any request we made of him. We highly recommend Jasim for anyone visiting Doha.

Great experience with Mr. Hasham bin Kashif. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the Qatar city tour. He gave clear explanations, provided extra time without extra charge, and patiently waited despite delays at the restaurant. Excellent service and highly recommended!

This was a great and comprehensive tour! Jasim and Hasim were great! They were personable, made me laugh and taught me a lot about Doha and Qatar in general! They recommended the best ways for me to use my time on the tour and it was timed perfectly. Because it was a private tour that allowed me the ability to design the tour however I wanted. They made sure I saw the main sights of Doha, taught me about each sight and left room for any shopping or other things I wanted to do along the way. Jasim was the best tour guide and photographer and was very knowledgeable about all things Qatar! The hotel pickup was seamless and very convenient and they will drop you off wherever you’d like after your tour. I would definitely recommend this tour for any solo or small group travelers who may have limited time but want to truly explore and experience Doha and has a tailor made experience! (Pro tip: many of the shops and markets don’t open until later in the afternoon so aiming those stops toward the end of the tour might be the best use of time).

My husband and I had a fascinating tour of the city of Doha with SALU. He gave us interesting information about Doha as he took us to Souk Waqif, the Cultural Museum, the Corniche and the Pearl. Most surprising was the Falcon Hospital and a rare opportunity to visit a mosque and witness the call to prayer. Thank you SALU for a delightful and informative tour.

We had a brilliant day with our tour guide. He showed us all the top sites and let us go at our own pace. We had a 7 month old baby and required some shade and air con and we were able to take our time and not rush. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and would recommend this private tour to anyone visiting Qatar! Thank you
