Great introduction to Doha - We (four adults) joined Hussian for a Walking Tour of Souq Waqif. The booking process online was easy and communication via WhatsApp was great with confirmation instantly and a follow up message from Hussian our guide. Meeting place was easy to find and Hussain was on time (waiting for us). The tour lasted 1.5 hours and was very informative. Hussian was friendly, approachable and had a really great sense of humour and excellent english. We learnt lots and had a good look around the area. Hussien kindly treated us to a mint lemonade at the end of the tour which was very much appreciated in the heat. Great tour and guide - would highly recommend.

Discovering Souq Waqif was amazing and super immersive! - All places were amazing. I really loved to understand about Qatari culture, food, lifestyle. Hussan was very kind amd friendly amd I really liked all details he was talking about when we were discovering Spuq Waqif. He opened the tour with a bottle of water, then he invited us to drink tea as Qataris used to do everyday, and finally we got a fresh limonade. Very immersive experience!!!

Lots of islamic history. He explained everything and even gave us a free juice that was delicious and pleasant! I totally recommed the tour with him! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Wonderful experience !

A wonderful tour of the local market - The Guide Hussain showed us amazingly the Souq Waqif! He managed to convey the whole vibe of the place, from the colorful shops full of spices to the unique crafts and tips on typical food. Showed the public lady house, the pet areas, the camels, the hawks, the incredible local perfumes and drinks. The reception with a bottle of water was a good surprise. He loved us from the beginning. Also, the suggestions on how to explore souq and interact with people were super helpful. It was a very nice tour that leaves everyone with the desire to visit and want to know more... Super recommend! The Guide also introduced us to an amazing local yellow coffee and a lemonade with mint that was simply wonderful! These drinks were a great way to experience local flavors as we walked through souq. It's the kind of thing that makes the visit even more special! Thank you so much!
