Qatar North and West Adventure - Wonderful experience. We learned a lot from Uzman during this tour. He did a great job answering our questions and gave us more information about the country, its people and a bit of their culture. The last part where we get to see the camel racing place was pretty cool. We got to see probably hundreds of camels parading on the side of road and even crossing in front of our car. Thank you Uzman for the tour👍🏼

Abdur Rahman is such a Great Guide - I had an incredible experience on the Qatar North and West Tour, made even more memorable by our fantastic guide, Abdur Rahman. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and ensured we were comfortable throughout the day. We explored a variety of fascinating places, including the picturesque Al Khor Harbor and bustling Fish Market, where we got a real sense of local life. Purple Island offered stunning natural beauty, while the historic Jumail Village and Zubarah Fort gave us a glimpse into Qatar's past. The Zekreet Formation Rocks and Zekreet Fort were awe-inspiring, showcasing the unique desert landscape. Richard Serra's striking art installation added a touch of modern creativity to our journey. Finally, the Camel Racing Track was a thrilling end to an unforgettable tour. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the diverse beauty and culture of Qatar!

Qatar sites without the crowds - Great day out with Abdul showing us sites in Qatar where the tourist buses don’t go. Learnt about the pearl diving , camel racing and saw some amazing rock formations with no mass tourists. The sculptures showed us where the sea use to be in Qatar years ago but now rock formations are present.
