We got nice experience with Muhammad Yasin. The guide knew everything about the history and facts of north qatar. Thank you again for that unforgettable experience and tour❣️
Good ture to experience with mohammed he was a very good driver and guide and looked after us so well on a very hot day the cold water was appreciated very much
I did the North tour with Mr. Nawaz and he was so kind and knowledgeable. He told me a lot about Qatar, the history, and different places that we drove past. It was a wonderful experience and nice to see outside of the city. I would not hesitate to do another tour!
4/5 1. Nice art in the middle of the desert 2. Parkings available. 3. Perfect time that camels were around when we visited the place. 4. Road from the city towards the destination is very good. Only there will be rough road is when you enter towards the parking. 5. Things to improve- needs to put toilet or refreshments areas because there is high chances visitors might need to use toilet during the visitation. Also during summer months it it very necessary to have access with drinking water near the parking area.
Did not get to see Olafur Eliasson shadows in the desert. Not sure why? Our guide Adil was great but sometimes hard to hear. Enjoyed other sites which we had seen before. Love the millions of shells in courtyard of Zubhara fort.
Zafar was a very good guide and driver and gave us a lot of interesting informazioni. To suggest to every friends! 100 caratteri are too many for me!!
Great half day trip - fantastic to get the insight of Qatar heritage and life outside of Doha. Thanks Ibrahim for your interesting conversation!
It was an excellent experience. We were glad to get out of the city, get tons of explanation from the friendly driver and view beautiful places. We recommend it.
Great trip with mr Ibrahim. Visited Al Zubara, Ain Mohammed, Al Jumail and Olafur's art. Took many photo's. Mr. Ibrahim was very nice and patient. We had very nice conversations.
Very kindest guided tour. I enjoyed all art exhibitions and some good communication with driver. If someone loves Olafur Eliasson, it is best tour.
