An amazing half day trip guded by Mohammed - I took a half-day trip to see Olafur Elisson's work, fortress, and archeological site at the end of Jan, 2023.
Mohammed was really professional and nice. I asked a lot of questions about Qatar and the Qatari people during the driving. He kindly answered all the questions. Besides visiting the sites mentioned above, I could get to know more about Qatar through his answers. Actually, we took more time taking photos at Olafur Elisson and he was so patient to wait until we are done. I want to give a 5-star review to Mohammed.
