Fun in Doha and on the dunes - Sam and Selah were exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled at their respective tours. With out their expertise, like if we just had an audio tour, I can’t imagine it would have been nearly as enjoyable.

Private Doha City Tour With Desert Safari(Combo) - We booked our tour through the Marriott property where we were staying. The night prior the desert tour guide, Saleh, reached out via WhatsApp to coordinate. The next morning our city tour guide, Sam, also used WhatsApp to coordinate our pickup from the hotel.
We began our tour with the Doha City tour with Sam. He arrived promptly at our hotel at the arranged time. His vehicle was very clean and the AC cold. He even had cold waters for us as the temps were around 42C.
The tour was very thorough and we particularly enjoyed the visits to the UDC - The Oyster, the Katara Mosque, ane of course the Souq Waqif.
Sam was quite knowledgeable about Doha and gave an amazing tour. He was also very accommodating with the timeline as we took a bit longer in some shops and got a refreshing lemon & mint drink in a cafe.
Sam and Saleh coordinated the transfer at the Souq Waqif and off we went to the dunes. Saleh also has a very clean vehicle, cold AC and cold waters for us. A very nice touch.
Saleh was just as polite and knowledgable as Sam. We travelled about 45 minutes down the south east coast to the beginning of the Safari site.
Upon arrival at the safari site we took our short camel ride and had pictures taken. We were also offered a falcon holding experience, but passed. We then had our tea and then was back to the vehicle and into the dunes.
Saleh is a very adept driver and handled the dunes very well. My partner had done some overlanding before but I had not and really enjoyed it as we went up, over and around the dunes. I never felt uncomfortable once while riding the dunes, it was great fun. We stopped at two great overlooks, one desert and one sea view. Saleh also took some great pictures of us as well. The only thing we did not get to do was sand boarding.
Saleh was so kind he even let us stop at a small market to get a few snacks for the ride home as it had been a long, hot day.
We were dropped back off at our hotel as arranged after an amazing day. Thank you to Sam and Saleh for providing a great experience. I would highly recommend this tour if you have a full day available as it is definitely a full 8 hour tour.

Enjoy the best of the desert - We had a variety of experiences, such as riding a camel and sandboarding. The camel bashing in particular was like a roller coaster and very exciting.
It was very helpful that they picked us up and dropped us off at the designated location.
Thank you to our driver, Shahid Khan!

A day to remember in Doha - This tour was a perfect mix of adventure and culture. Starting off with the excitement of dune bashing in a 4WD was a real thrill. The vastness of the desert and the calmness of the Inland Sea were simply breathtaking. Riding a camel added an extra touch of fun to the desert experience.
Exploring Doha city was a journey through time. Modern spots like Pearl Island contrasted with historic places like the Gold Souq and Souq Waqif. I especially loved the Katara Cultural Village; it offered a deep dive into the city's history and traditions.
I can't end without mentioning our fantastic guide, Saleh. He was knowledgeable and friendly, making our tour even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, we got to know Doha in the best way possible. If you're thinking of a Doha tour, don’t miss this one!

Doha City Tour and Desert Safari - My friend and I stopped into Qatar for a layover before we flew into Dubai and we experienced a marvelous time. We first met Poskar who took us around town. Poskar was wonderful, knowledgeable and very polite. We were able to enjoy some food, scout out the local market and get some local currency for souvenir. After this we met up with Saleh whom we loved. He was awesome and truly enjoys what he does. We had a wonderful desert experience in his vehicle with the desert splash. It was a bit scary but fun! I could tell that Saleh enjoyed giving us this experience. At times he stopped and allowed us to take pictures. His personality was also great; I felt like I couldn't have gotten a better driver/tour guide. I would visit again and ask for Saleh!

Great tour with Sam - Sam was amazing. I saw the reviews on Tripadvisor and gave Sam a call. Within 30 minutes he picked us up from the Aleph hotel. Sam provided an amazing educational tour of Doha! I have a six-year-old and to you older teenage boys. My husband, kids, and I, really enjoyed this tour. Since it is very hot outside he even customized it so we did not walk outside as much.
