Best activity to do in Qatar! - Mujahid was our driver he was awesome: polite, on time, pointed out points of interest as we drove to the desert. We rode camels drank tea and headed 4 wheeling. It was the thrill of a lifetime! Fun, exciting, and a little scary in a good way - he definitely knows how to drive in the dunes! Next we went sand boarding and to the sea. Mujahid helped us to take awesome pics and he really knew the right angles and how to make them special. This was by far the best thing we did in Qatar!!

Exciting camel racing experience - Absolutely amazing tour. The camel racing was exciting. The museum had so many artifacts, that we could spend days in admiring. Amir is a fantastic tour guide who took care of our family.

Totally worth the sunburn! - It was seriously a wild mix of history and excitement. The museum was like stepping into a time machine – vintage cars, ancient artifacts, and no snooze-worthy guided tour. You get to wander and discover at your own speed. Then, onto the Camel Race Track – who knew watching camels race could be so damn thrilling? These humps mean serious business! The guide was cool, spilling all sorts of interesting tidbits. Fair warning though, if you're not into sweating bullets, bring a hat and some water for the race track.

Great experience - Sajid was very knowledgeable about the races. He is a safe driver, and spoke English well. We enjoyed visiting the guest house and seeing the camels on their afternoon walk. The museum displayed a large array of items in middle eastern culture over the centuries-from daggers, to clothing, even cars and fossils. One of the most comprehensive collections I've seen of its kind.

An experience - The most interesting part of the tour was the museum. Our tour guide was great. We saw the race track but no Camels racing cause it’s too hot. Think they should take this part off during the hotter months and replace it with something else.
