Souq waqif free walking tour with Hussain - We did the Free Walking Tour at Souq Waqif with our incredible tourguide Hussain. He was amazing. He was funny and had great knowledge about everything! You can ask him everything you want he will have the correct answer. Not only was the tour fun, it was also very interesting and we learned a lot about Qatars history, culture, facts and even laws. Like I said he knows everything. I can highly recommend this tour with Hussain!

One of the best walking tour hosts ever! - Hussain is awesome! He made my entire time in Doha so great. His walking tour in the Souq Waqif, gives you history of Doha and Qatar, cultural aspects, as well as fun. Plus, there is lots of free coffee on the way. You get to see the camels and Arabian horses, and he points out all the places to go back to on your own time.
I have done walking tours all over the world and Hussain is one of the best! Absolutely take the time to do this tour!!
Also - if you're travelling solo, so was I. I was the only one in his booking for that time slot and he still showed up and toured me. I really appreciated that!

2-and-a-half-day visit to Doha - We first did the walking tour in Souq. It was there that we met Hussein, who eventually became our reference and friend in Doha. The next day, he arranged our desert tour, which came out much cheaper than the hotel and was wonderful. And on the third day, we made the city tour in Doha with him, who was very receptive and attentive to us all the time. We felt privileged by the differentiated treatment and knowledge we had.

Amazing walking tour with Hussain - I had the pleasure of joining a walking tour with Hussain, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Even though I was the only one who signed up for the tour, he still happily offered everything he had. He is incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about the Doha’s history and culture. As we walked through Souq Waqif, he showed me hidden gems that I would never be aware. Husain is also exceptionally friendly and welcoming, encouraging for questions and had an engaging atmosphere throughout the tour. His passion for the city’s history and helping tourist to learn is genuine enthusiasm, and I highly respect him. I highly recommend this tour with Hussain to anyone visiting Doha!

Walking tour with Hussain - We booked a walking tour with Hussain to discover the history of the Souq Waqif in Doha. This was an amazing experience with Hussain he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the old town. He took us through the market to a shop to play their traditional game called Dama then to other traditional places to taste their coffee/ tea and dates. They were all very hospitable would highlighly recommend this tour. Hussain also recommended good places to eat. This tour is a must, you won't regret it.

Positive energy & surprises - Hussain was both a delightful and engaging guide. Moreover, he absolutely surprised me by offering to take me to the camel race 45 min away in his car after the tour. This turned out to be a real highlight of my visit to Qatar. From spiced milk tea to an exhilarating race, he is full of positive energy & surprises that add to his guests' experience.
