Great experience and learning about Qatar’s land and history - Sadiq was very friendly and gave us lots of Qatar history lessons and explained why several heritage towns were abandoned and renewal now. It was a terrific experience for us. Travelling to the shadows of the sea was very impressive. Thanks so much Sadiq👍

Asmat is the best tour guide 👯 - Asmat was so knowledgeable and truly amazing. Spending the afternoon with him was truly breathtaking and I’d highly recommend him to anyone coming to Qatar. I would definitely opt to have him take us on all of our future tours. He also takes the best pictures.
