A beautiful day out - Not overrun by tourists, so plenty of space to walk and take photos. Definitely need to take water and a snack as there was little opportunity to stop and eat anywhere

Interesting history and conversation. Mr Zeno was a generous host with his knowledge and hospitality. - Mr Zeno arrived early eager to start the tour. He was generous with his sharing of history and culture. As well as with cold water, a roadside tea and helping to give directions to a solo traveler doing a driving trip. A great morning!

Murex Activities, Doha - North Heritage Tour Review - During our recent stay in Doha, we went on the 6-hour North Heritage Tour with Murex Activities, and it was one of the most enriching experiences of our visit. Our guide, Zeno, was exceptional, bringing each historical site to life with his deep knowledge and passion for Qatar's rich culture and heritage. The tour took us away from the modern luxury of The Pearl and into the heart of Qatar’s northern region. We visited the iconic Al Zubarah Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Zeno shared fascinating stories about Qatar’s pearl diving history and its role in ancient trade routes. We also explored traditional villages, providing a glimpse into the local way of life that felt worlds apart from the glitzy cityscape of Doha. Zeno’s storytelling added immense value to the tour, making it not just a sightseeing trip but an immersive journey through time. The tour was well-paced, with comfortable transportation and plenty of refreshments provided by Murex, ensuring our comfort throughout. For anyone looking to explore Qatar’s historical treasures while enjoying a luxury experience, the North Heritage Tour with Murex, and especially with Zeno as a guide, is highly recommended. A perfect blend of cultural immersion and adventure that’s suitable for families and anyone eager to learn about the country’s past.

A refreshing escape from the city! - Visiting Zubarah Fort was like stepping back in time—it's fascinating to see a piece of Qatar's history preserved so well. The fort’s architecture and the surrounding area really give you a sense of the past. After that, I headed to the fishing town of Al Khor. It was really nice to see a different side of Qatar, with its bustling harbor and the laid-back atmosphere. Strolling through the town and seeing the local boats and markets made for a relaxing and enjoyable day. Overall, exploring these spots gave me a deeper appreciation for Qatar's rich heritage and local life.
