North Tour - I did the North tour with Mr. Nawaz and he was so kind and knowledgeable. He told me a lot about Qatar, the history, and different places that we drove past. It was a wonderful experience and nice to see outside of the city. I would not hesitate to do another tour!

My First time to ride in Camel at Olafur Eliassons Massive Mirror Installation - 4/5
1. Nice art in the middle of the desert
2. Parkings available.
3. Perfect time that camels were around when we visited the place.
4. Road from the city towards the destination is very good. Only there will be rough road is when you enter towards the parking.
5. Things to improve- needs to put toilet or refreshments areas because there is high chances visitors might need to use toilet during the visitation. Also during summer months it it very necessary to have access with drinking water near the parking area.

North of Qatar - Did not get to see Olafur Eliasson shadows in the desert. Not sure why? Our guide Adil was great but sometimes hard to hear. Enjoyed other sites which we had seen before. Love the millions of shells in courtyard of Zubhara fort.
