Window into Qatar's rich cultural heritage - The trip was very informative covering key archeological sites such as the Zubara fort, pearl diving, a restored fishing village and a mangrove forest. We covered long distances in the northerly direction over 4-5 hours. My guide Abdullah was very knowledgeable and eager to share his experience. I enjoyed the tour very much and would highly recommend it for a half day tour.

Highly recommend - I booked this tour kind of last minute. A lovely guide Syed picked me up from the airport. The tour was very well arranged. This different side of Qatar is definitely worth seeing and Syed managed to get me to Jumail village right on time for the sunset. The view was stunning. Highly recommend this to everyone who's interested in digging a little bit deeper about this country and it's people

Exploring the North - Great private tour of Al Khor fishing port, Purple Island Mangroves, Al Zubara Fort and the Jumail abandoned village. My guide and driver Syed was very knowledgeable on both the history and culture in Qatar and I would definitely recommend him. A great tour if you want to spend time outside of Doha, exploring Qatar.
