  We have been here in Dubai for over a month and this was the best experience we have had. The guide was excellent and made the experience memorable. We took a couple with us that had lived here for 14 years and they were amazed at the things we saw. This is a must do when traveling here.

  2. Doha: 5-Hour Guided Tour of North Qatar

  Your adventure begins when you’re picked up from your Doha hotel and begin heading north for around 40 kilometers. Your first stop will be the Umm Salal Fortress, a tower built for Sheikh Jasim Bin Mohammed Al-Thani’s residence in the late 19th century.

  Guide (Hussein) was well knowledged, of full hospitality and funny. The tour was managed on time and fully covered items originally requested.

He will make his best efforts to realize it unless it’s really possible. Enjoy Qatar and enjoy Doha!
