First impression in Qatar with Adil - I picked the hottest weather to travel around Qatar. This is my first time to Qatar, excited and nervous. I was lucky to have Adil as my guide. He is very considerate and patient. Roadtrip is quite long but he always found ways to cheer me up. He is also an excellent photographer and we succeeded getting lots of amazing photos and videos. I am a person who is afraid of heat. Adil knows how to save time and make the trip more efficient while not exposing under the sun for a long time. I highly recommend this trip and Adil. Hope to visit Qatar again, maybe next time in winter season ;)

We go to North with Adil - We visted the North site of Qatar, the Fort, the Mangroves of the Purple Island and the village. Along the way we had great views of some of the modern attractions. Our driver Adil provided us a great experience, we were complete on our own, had some time for pictures and exploring the sites by our own. We got information about the history of Qatar and a different insight of the country. It was overall a great experience

The very modest fort. - The tour to purple island and Al Zubarach Fort is a lot of driving. The attractions are ok but not impressive. Conversations with Anwar, our tour guide were very informative. He was the main attraction.
