The trip was exceptionally beautiful! Yam is an excellent guide and gave us incredibly beautiful impressions. Thanks to his efforts, the camel race was a very exciting experience. We were able to watch the start up close and then rode alongside the camels. Yam also organized the rest of the tour very well. He accommodated our requests, explained a lot, and took numerous photos of us. Thank you so much for this wonderful tour!

We really enjoyed the tour with Amar. He answered all our questions and told us a lot about life in Qatar and the country itself. At the camel racetrack, we waited until a group of camels in training passed by. In the museum, he showed us the most interesting things and told us about them, letting us see the rest at our own pace. We also saw the oryx. The tour with Amar is highly recommended.

The trip was great. Our guide Sudarshan was fantastic. He told us a lot about the history of Doha. The rocks, as well as East-West and West-East, were amazing. But the best part was the camel race. That was absolutely incredible. Many thanks to our guide. We hope to see you again.
