Awesome, friendly and informative tour with Sajid - The trip was very nice. Sajid of Golden Adventures picked us up from the hotel right on time.
He was friendly, full of information, enthusiastic and even went off route so we could take a look at other landmarks on the way. Even took us to a local pastry store for some out of town real food.
It was definitely worth the money and awesome to see another part of Qatar out of the the city.

Great guide; not much to Qatar outside Doha - The itinerary was great and the guide did an amazing job. There really isn’t much to see in Qatar outside of Doha though, so don’t set your expectations too high. These attractions really aren’t anything special.
