I had a great time on my tour with Amar! He was able to accommodate a last minute scheduling change but ensured I was still able to see and experience everything on the tour. Amar was very knowledgeable about the rush history of Qatar and answered all my questions. The camel race track was so interesting and the collections at the museum are truly indescribable!

A very nice tour. The visit to the camel racing track was very interesting. There was no race, but there was training. Driving the car next to the race track while standing in the car and being able to take photos of the camels during training from the roof hatch was really powerful. The driver guide knew everything and explained everything to us very well.

It has been a great and spectacular day with Amir, a very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide. We have seen a lot of wonderful sites and places, and could extend also this tour in a very flexible and easy way by a desert jeep safari ! Full stars !

Excellent tour! Sudarshan was very polite, punctual, showing profound knowledge of the country and sights. Comfortable car and pace, I really recommend this tour, all the listed locations were visited.

Excellent tour by Yam, our tour guide, many highlights, highly recommended
