Visitors to Qatar are immediately impressed with the expansive, modern city. With its tall skyscrapers and lengthy boulevards. Yet, for visitors to truly experience Qatari culture, there's only one option: a night in the desert. On this overnight tour, enjoy an evening that few travelers experience in a desert camp. Try traditional activities, like beach volleyball and shisha smoking. Enjoy a buffet dinner and swim in Arabian sea . In the morning, wake at dawn to experience sunrise with a delicious breakfast.

Had a great overnight tour at the desert with Ishaq and Zia being our tour guides! They were informative and gave us a good introduction of Qatar.
Ishaq is an amazing driver and we had an awesome time dune bashing. The entire tour was very well spaced giving us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves at each stop. It’s a bonus that our tour guides took great photos! Highlight was definitely watching the sun rise by the desert camp over the gulf.
Overnight stay and meals are basic, there was no hot water for shower. Perhaps there were not much guests - so dinner was a simple buffet instead of BBQ.
Bonfire and BBQ by the desert would have completed the tour, but overall a wonderful experience!

Ishaq and Zia were such great guides to our tour! Informative, active and friendly. We were given many great insights to the places we’ve passed by or visited. Ishaq has got very impressive skills in driving in the desert, even during night time! The exciting desert drive accompanied by upbeat music has got to be the best part of the tour! Has many great rides, both day and nights. Zia was very helpful and proactive in helping to take pictures and giving suggestions on photo spots, angles and poses. They’ve made the trip an enjoyable and comfortable one for sure!

Our guides Ishaq and Zia were so insightful about the area and accommodating. The dune bashing champion Ishaq knew the desert like the back of his hand and really took us for a wild ride (not recommended for people with motion sickness) but my friends and I loved the whole experience so much and would 10/10 do this again

Our guide Ishaq and Zia was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They explained many things in details and was very patient with the 87358 questions we had. Ishaq as our driver had many years of experience in this tour and a very safe and amazing driver. We learned that he is also a champion in dune racing! They both kept offering to take photos for us, and making sure we are alright.
This was not a 5 star review only for the below
1. The accommodation although sufficient, there is no hot water for shower and the bed had a layer of sand.
2. Dinner and breakfast was acceptable but we were expecting a BBQ dinner instead.
Overall would recommend

Had the most amazing experience with my toddler and baby son on the sand dunes of Doha. We were treated to an exhilarating day by expert driver ishaq and zia. His skills behind the wheel were second to none and gave us the experience of a lifetime. Can’t thank him enough. Can’t wait to return and we will definitely be contacting with our expert driver ishaq and zia again. We are very happy with the service given by golden tour's. We highly recommend you to have more fun played on sand dues with ishaq and zia.

Our guide (Shahzeb) did a great job, gave us an excellent ride to our camp, and even accommodated some extra activity (camel riding) in between, so that we could make better use of the booked time in the evening.
Last but not least, his excellent driving skills made all of our teens happy on the next morning, during our dune bashing drive. He was always very courteous, looking after our well-being, and on time.
There‘s was not really enough time available, where we could have squeezed in volleyball and/or sandboarding, but the evening and sunrise at the beach were great on their own.
I must say for the price I would have expected some higher quality qatari cuisine, but all in all the tour was very good.

We had an amazing experience. Ask for Abid as your tour guide. He is very knowledgeable of the area and the history of Qatar. He is open to any question and for my teenagers was a unique opportunity to learn more about the Middle Eastern culture and come to the conclusion that there are by far more cultural expressions that unite us than the ones that could eventually divide us.
