West Qatar Tour - Excellent and amazing tour of West Qatar. My guide, Mohammad, was very friendly and took great care to share insights on the history of Qatar and pointed out many interesting landmarks during the tour. I would highly recommend going with Mohammed in the future!

A Great Morning on the West Coast With Mohammad - The trip from Doha to the West Coast was quite entertaining. Along the drive, Mohammad chatted about all the sights along the road, from the home of Royals to the camps of the Bedouin. The stop at the Camel Racetrack was fun and intriguing. It would be a blast to visit during racing season in the winter. The sandstone monuments were majestic, and we enjoyed climbing around while Mohammad snapped hundreds of photos. The Richard Serra art installations were behemoths, and curiously out of the way. Driving right in the surf of the Persian Gulf was gorgeous. Altogether a fun trip!

Fabulous tour - What a fabulous tour!! My guide Mohammad has been great. He picked me up from my hotel I perfect time. Safe drive on the way to mushroom rock and Richard Serra sculpture, lovey chat. Booking for just one person is double the price unfortunately,
shame Viator dies not offer solo travellers prices. Overall it's been a pricey but beautiful experience. Highly recommended
