Desert safari with Sayed

Bradley_B, Nov 2025
Has to be the best day so far in Qatar, Sayed was amazing, took some fantastic photos, the dune bashing was hilarious and scary. My 10yr old daughter was as sooo happy. Great memories made

Awesome Desert Safari

Ian_J, Oct 2025
My Aunt, Mom, and I had an absolutely fantastic time on this desert safari tour with Mujahid! He picked us up right on time from our hotel in Doha, and the car was super comfy and spotless. We kicked things off with a quick camel ride, which I totally recommend—it was an unforgettable experience! Then, Mujahid whisked us away for a dune bashing adventure through the desert. My family tends to get a bit motion sick, but Mujahid was so great at keeping us entertained that we didn’t even feel dizzy. Next, we hit the sand for some awesome sandboarding, which I highly recommend. It’s like sledding in the snow, but instead of snow, it’s sand! After that, we made our way to the inland sea of Qatar, where we could dip our toes in the warm waters of the Persian Gulf. This was a fantastic use of our money, and Mujahid did an amazing job showing us around and taking care of us. I can’t recommend it enough! Just a little tip: we booked the 3pm tour because it cooled down a bit when we got to the desert, which is about an hour’s drive from Doha.

Incredible!!

Matthew_K, Mar 2025
The camel riding was a great experience, the sand boarding was adrenaline fueling, the four wheel driving was terrifyingly awesome, and dipping our feet in the sea and looking over at Saudi Arabia was stunning. Exceptional experience and I highly recommend this to everybody.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

That sounds absolutely epic! 😍🐪 Thrilled to hear you enjoyed the camel ride, adrenaline-fueled sandboarding, and the heart-racing 4x4 dune bashing! 🚙💥 Dipping your feet in the sea while gazing at Saudi Arabia must’ve been a surreal moment. 🌊🌅 Thanks for the glowing recommendation! We’re so glad you had an exceptional experience. Hope to see you again for more adventures! 🙌

ASIA_S, Nov 2024
Really nice tour. You get to see the falcons and ride camels. Also the sand dunes were lots of fun. Highly recommended! Our tour guide Ahmed did an amazing job, he has great driving skills!!!

A must-do in Doha even if you have experienced this prior.

Sagar_A, Jan 2024
This was the most memorable part of my trip, and I almost skipped it because I had done it once earlier in Abu Dhabi. This is a 3-hour thrill ride, with a complete experience of camel riding, dune bashing, sandboarding, and seeing the beautiful sun setting in the mountains of Saudi Arabia.

Mujahid was an awesome guide & driver - on time and patient even when its a super hot day. The camel ride was the best!

Absolutely worth it!

J'etais un peu inquete car j'ai reservé la veille et je voulais etre certaine qu'ils allaient bien venir nous chercher a lheure prevue devant lhotel. Le guide est arrivé pile à l'heure, cetait une experience formidable et un service tres professionnelle.

Desert safari with Sayed. 金曜日午前中には特に最適なオプショナルツアー!

Anonymous, Jan 2025
金曜日早朝にドーハ着でしたが、午後2時まで地下鉄も動かないため、空港ピックアップのオプショナルツアーに参加。 永遠に続くかのような白砂の砂丘と、綺麗な海は日本には無いような景色で感動しました。 当初キャメルライドは時間身近かなと思いましたが、長時間乗るものでも無かったので満足出来ました。 砂丘の斜面を車で駆け下りる際はとてもスリルがあり楽しめます。 最後に車内に忘れ物をしてしまいましたが、ガイド兼ドライバーのSayedさんは、わざわざこちらの指定場所まで持ってきてくれて本当に対応が良か ったです。 全てにおいてこのツアーを選んで良かったです。
