Additional Information
The landscape of Qatar’s northern territories is remarkably varied, spanning both seaside and terrestrial regions. The northern seafront of Qatar is aligned with the Persian Gulf, famous for its captivating sandy shorelines. As we move away from the shoreline, the landscape of Northern Qatar evolves into large stretches of flat, sandy plateaus. The Al Zubarah Peninsula is a significant geographical highlight in Northern Qatar, hosting the Al Zubarah Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These flatlands are primarily recognized for Al-jubail village and its rich mangrove ecosystems, specifically in places such as Al Thakira and Purple Island. We offer a chance for you to explore both the sea and land gems of Qatar.

North Qatar tour with Hamad - We had a great tour of northern Qatar with Hamad. We were sent pickup instructions the day before via WhatsApp and were promptly picked up at the allotted time. The tour went to the fish market at Al Khor, purple island mangroves, Al Zubar fort, Shadows traveling on the Sea sculpture and Jumsil abandoned village. Highlights were definitely the fort and sculpture, which are both great photo ops. Good tour, exceeded my expectations and appreciated Hamad’s information on things like Doha on the drive.

Amazing tour - Many thanks to Desert rose tourism qatar for the flexibility and providing the excellent plan for the private tour - went to North Qatar. Visited Faisal Museum, Camel Racing Track, Al Zubara old fort, old village and then went to Purple Island.
We finished the tour by watching the stars and dune bashing.
Many thanks to Hammad who was excellent guide and driver. It was my pleasure to discuss many different topics with him, He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions with great patience and courtesy.

Nice trip! - It was a nice trip. We went with Waleed. He picked us up from our hotel, so it was all very comfortable. Everything went fine. It's interesting to see Qatar outside of Doha. Thanks, Waleed!

Qatar can also be quiet and relaxed - Our guide Walid was very friendly and, above all, always informative. No matter what question we asked, he had an explanation that we could easily understand.
The individual stops were well chosen, the fort and the art installation in particular were very beautiful. It was also no problem that we wanted to get off at a different place to save time for the next attraction.
Thank you Walid, it was a pleasure!

Safe and sound - Our trip went safe and sound. The driver is also our tour guide. He was able to answer our questions about the places even if its not part of the tour. What we like most is the "shadows travelling by the sea" by olafur elliason.
