Wonderful Activity experience-Ahktar
Absolutely wonderful Doha tour! Our guide, Akhtar, was brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable, proactive and so accommodating. He made the quad biking, camel ride, dune bashing and sandboarding feel effortless and was always there to help.
He kept us comfortable in the heat, provided water, gave us helpful reminders and even helped charge my phone! 😊 He genuinely went out of his way to make our day special.
Thank you for an amazing experience—I highly recommend him!

Best Guide and Tour
My son and I did this tour with Rizwan and it was amazing. Rizwan was a great guide, giving us lofs of information and accommodating everything we wanted to do. He was also great with my 11 year old son and took some amazing photos and videos for us. We got to see and do so much in one day in Qatar and I would highly recommend Rizwan as a guide! He deserves 5 stars!

Fabulous Day Trip around Northern and Western Qatar
5 ⭐ An Exceptional Private Tour of North & West Qatar
We had the pleasure of a beautifully curated private day tour with Rehan across North and West Qatar. From the historic elegance of Al Zubarah Fort and the serene mangroves of Purple Island to the dramatic desert landscape surrounding East-West/West-East by Richard Serra and the striking Zekreet coastline, every stop was thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed.
Rehan was exceptionally attentive, warm, and impeccably courteous throughout. His knowledge, calm presence, and eye for photography truly elevated the experience — we came away enriched and with stunning photographs to remember the day by.
We booked through Viator with Arabian Tourism, and would highly recommend requesting Rehan specifically through the company for anyone seeking a premium, personalised way to experience Qatar beyond Doha.

Amazing experience
Very well designed tour! Includes a short camel ride, the amazing dune bashing, sand boarding and a foto stop at the Arabian sea. Time flew by and we enjoyed every minute. Our tour guide, Asim was very nice and ensured that everyone in the group have the best possible experience. Definitely we are recommending this tour.

Best Desert Trip
If you get Addi as a driver/tour guide, he will give you the best experience. Super friendly, funny and he really knows how to make it a great day for you. Takes care of you to the fullest and fixes everything for you, so you dont have to worry about anything, just enjoy the experience to the max. Recommend to ask for him.

Excellent Doha city tour
Fabulous city tour with Saleem - covered all the main city highlights and more. Saleem is an excellent guide giving all the information you could need to get to know Doha.
Excellent hotel pickup in comfortable vehicle.
In addition to the areas visited - Saleem gave us information about the history of Doha, the Royal family and life in Doha.
Plenty of opportunity to take photos and Saleem encouraged questions.
Booking was effortless and arrangements notified in a timely manner.
Overall an excellent tour - would recommend to anyone visiting Doha.

The tour gives you a good scope of Northern Qatar. You will see villages that were once responsible for Qatar’s main source of income throughout history, pearling and fishing.
My guide Rehan was very friendly and informative and was happy to answer any questions I had. If you’re also looking for insight on how life is like in Qatar now, Rehan was also happy to answer which was very insightful.
Overall I was very happy with the tour.
Thank you.

Enjoyable night dessert safari tour
Amazing experience for me and the Mrs on this night dessert safari led by our tour guide Mujahid.
Mujahid was very punctual and navigated the dunes skilfully at night time. He was also happy to take pictures and allowed us to explore as much as we wanted at each stop

Dashing through the sand in a 4x4
We had the most amazing time with our guide Zakria. He was very welcoming and a highly skilled desert driver. Our 6 year old laughed so much as we went flying over the dunes. It was fun to try sledging in the sand rather than the snow for a change at Christmas! We got some stunning photos too.

Javid was an excellent...
Javid was an excellent driver and photographer. Since I was the only guest, he took a lot of fun photos of me. I like travelling a little bit outside of the big cities, to see other parts of a country. This tour offers that. Javid can both be talkative (interesting facts) and silent, the latter was good for me, because I was very jet lag. Half of the time is driving (very little walking), since you go both to the east and the west of the country on the same trip.

Amazing experience
Loved every bit of the tour. I could learn so much about Qatar. Every information about the country was surprising and useful. Our guide Asim was super knowledgable and informative. Both the city tour & desert tour were amazing. One day at Qatar was beyond my expectations thanks to the combo tour! Highly recommended.

Fun but short activity
Pretty fun experience. Took about 4 hours total. I’d recommend doing it in the morning as you can knock it out and still be back to do other things. The camel ride is *very* short, probably 2-3 minutes if that. The sand boarding is also only one time down a hill & that’s it. I’d say the majority of the time (apart from the 40-45 min each way drive) is the driver sand duning (which can lead to motion sickness be prepared) as well as the ATVing. All in all, for the price it was really fun and I’d recommend.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
One of the fastest-growing cities in the Middle East, Doha is a great home base for exploring Qatar’s highlights. On Doha day trips, you can ride camels across sweeping dunes, explore the UNESCO-listed Al Zubara Fort, or cruise through the mangroves of Purple Island. Guided tours make it easy to make memories in Qatar beyond the capital, whether you’re interested in history, nature, or adventure, and they often include round-trip transport and the services of guides.
