Great expirience with Sharif - More than any expectations cultural city tour in Doha Qatar with Sharif Massouh was extraordinary expirience. High level professionalism and knowledge about Doha most important landmark, in the same time friendly and hostility Sharif show me most interresting places and people in some of cultural places. Beautiful mosque and Islamic center and especially traditional tea with people in those places was unique expirience. I will for sure back with my friends because they all enjoy in my stories. It was the best guiding tour in my manny visit to Doha.
