Qatar Outside Doha Experience - Sam was a great guide, he shared enlightening comments about the city and the tour, the west coast is impressive and we even had a bit of an off road experience. Visit to the camel racetrack was lots of fun, so many camels gathered for their training at the racetrack and also crossing the main road, loved the ride.

Interesting tour - We really enjoyed seeing the camel training facility. Be aware that you will not see racing but the training is very unique and interesting. Our guide was very informative, Sajid. We went to the desert and saw very interesting sculptures.

Excellent unique tour - Very interesting and different tour. Excellent experience in the desert. Our guide, Sajid Khan, was very nice, informative and we always felt in good hands. We learned so much about the camel racing/training and the desert formations. Highly recommend.

Camel race and Equestrian club - Must go. Different experience. Check the timing of the race before going there. Better to hire a car for half day. Leave early in the morning for race. By 12 noon everything is basically finished.

Amazing - Saleh is the best driver in Doha, we have already made two excursions with him to the desert. The first one we were in the dunes, the sea and riding a camel, and now we went to the Zekreet area. Everything is spectacular
