Evening Tour in Doha - This was a great way to spend an evening in Doha. We were already out touring the city, so our guide, Javid, picked us up at the museum we were at when the sun went down to start our tour (around 6pm). Javid drove us around the city to see all the sights in an air conditioned vehicle. We eventually parked and proceeded into the Souq. The Souq was a great sight to see in the center of Doha. There were so many sections and Javid helped us navigate the Souq ensuring we saw all the sections while informing us of the history and answering our questions. We even stopped and played a local game of Dama (similar to checkers). Much of the Souq is air conditioned, so it wasn't too hot. Our tour wrapped up with a traditional meal in the Souq. We had chicken curry and lamb. A perfect tour and great way to spend a few (cooler) hours in the evening after the sun goes down.

Great way to spend an evening in Doha! - Outstanding cultural experience! We pretty much covered all of Souq Waqif! Amir was an excellent guide! I really wanted some great pictures of the city skyline at night, and he made sure to take me to the best spots!

Great food and Souq Tour - We went on this food tour at the Souk Waqif our first night in Doha with tour guide Javid and it was a perfect introduction to the country. Delicious food, good informative tour through the Souq. Would recommend both this tour and Javid as guide. Javid also knew how to take the best photos on my iPhone, which I really appreciated.

Excellent tour with Amir - The tour is a must-do to have a better understanding of the Qatari culture. Amir is engaging and gracious. His enthusiasm for mankind is inspiring. It is more than a tour, it is better understanding of ourselves and of others.

A not to be missed experience! - Ali was amazing! His knowledge of the souq was incredible! He brought us to every corner of the souq and even for an amazing dinner before heading out to the business sector to take in some amazing insights! He went above and beyond in providing us the best experience and ensuring our short time in Doha was informed
