A great way to view Doha - The sunset tour was a perfect way to relax and view the city from the water. The Dhow was quaint and cosy. Watching the sun set behind the city was awesome, gave a different perspective from the car tour we had the day before. Sadiq the guide who picked us up from our hotel was a wealth of knowledge about Doha and he taught us so much in the space of 10 minutes it took to drive us from the hotel to our Dhow. Thanks a bunch. Definitely worth it!

A great sunset cruise! - Great sunset cruise on a Friday night in the beautiful city of Doha. The dhow boat was great with great music played throughout the cruise across the bay of Doha. The photographs across the bay were great. The staff on the Dhow were great constantly chatting to guests and dancing with them and taking photographs of the guests. During the hour cruise the staff were explaining what each of the buildings were and encouraging them guests to take some great photo’s.

Zakir is a good tour guide - Zakir is quite a good guide to take us visit beautiful places across the desert. The service is good, he is happy to reply all the questions we raised. Happy weekend, nice beach, nice food and nice hotel in desert. Inland sea is very very beautiful place, I will never forget that. I don’t know how to put all comments over 50 characters but still worry to write it on. I love Qatar. The night in desert is unforgettable. We meet good friends from Pakistan and have a wonderful tea. 遇到了一個非常好的導遊,晚上的沙漠非常漂亮,我們臨時獲得了一個飯店升等的機會,晚餐也非常好吃,只可惜今天雲霧太多,沒有辦法拍攝沙漠星空。

💯 - Ishaq and Zia were such great guides to our tour! Informative, active and friendly. We were given many great insights to the places we’ve passed by or visited. Ishaq has got very impressive skills in driving in the desert, even during night time! The exciting desert drive accompanied by upbeat music has got to be the best part of the tour! Has many great rides, both day and nights. Zia was very helpful and proactive in helping to take pictures and giving suggestions on photo spots, angles and poses. They’ve made the trip an enjoyable and comfortable one for sure!

It’s a wild ride - Our guides Ishaq and Zia were so insightful about the area and accommodating. The dune bashing champion Ishaq knew the desert like the back of his hand and really took us for a wild ride (not recommended for people with motion sickness) but my friends and I loved the whole experience so much and would 10/10 do this again

Wonderful Desert Experience - Had a great overnight tour at the desert with Ishaq and Zia being our tour guides! They were informative and gave us a good introduction of Qatar. Ishaq is an amazing driver and we had an awesome time dune bashing. The entire tour was very well spaced giving us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves at each stop. It’s a bonus that our tour guides took great photos! Highlight was definitely watching the sun rise by the desert camp over the gulf. Overnight stay and meals are basic, there was no hot water for shower. Perhaps there were not much guests - so dinner was a simple buffet instead of BBQ. Bonfire and BBQ by the desert would have completed the tour, but overall a wonderful experience!
