WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Al Khor
Also spelled Al Khawr means "sea on threesides" in Arabic. Older than Doha but far smaller in size. Al Khor is located an easy 50 kilometres to the north of Doha. It used to be the center of the pearling industry in Qatar but lost its importance after the introduction of cultured pearls. It now boasts a scenic harbour where you can find traditional fishing dhows, a corniche leading to mangrove colonies and a museum showcasing the fishing, pearling and dhow building industries.
2. Al Thakhira Beach
The mangroves colony is not only a major tourism product for Qatar but an important natural environmental resource for Qatar. It provides a natural habitat and a sanctuary for birds, fish and other animals as well as prevent coastal erosion.
3. Purple Island - Al Khor Island
Located in the northeast of Qatar, Bin Ghannam Island, popularly known as Purple Island, is a must-visit spot. An hour’s drive from Doha, near Al Khor city, the island is famous for its natural beauty, exotic flora and fauna, and is ideal for a day trip for the whole family.
4. Al Zubara Fort
Situated on the North-Western part of Qatar, the Al Zubarah Fort was built besides the ruins of an ancient fort. Al-Zubarah was once a flourishing port and a centre of trade, fishing and pearling. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, this protected area has become one of the most important archaeological sites in Qatar. An international team of archaeologists and antiquities experts, led by the Qatar Museums Authority, have uncovered many of the artifacts which are displayed in the renovated fort.
5.
The old pearling and fishing village is the place to see for those interested in heritage and learning more about the history of Qatar.
6. Ash-Shahaniyah

7. Zekreet Fort Ruins
One of the most amazing historical landmarks in Qatar, the Zekreet Fort is one of the very few historical places in Qatar that underwent two different phases of construction. Here's how it all unfolded
8. EAST-WEST / WEST-EAST by Richard Serra
This breathtaking sculpture in the Brouq nature reserve spans over a kilometre and comprises four steel plates, each over fourteen metres in height. To guarantee perfect alignment, Serra examined the topography of the land and beautifully enhanced the vast, desolate space in the heart of the desert. The result is spectacular and although modern, timeless.

Tour was excellent. Our driver Zohaib was very accommodating and passed on lots of information about the areas we visited and Qatar in genera.l Recommending him to family who are visiting in July. Provided us with multiple bottles of CHILLED water. We never felt rushed and felt free to ask question.

Adil was a charming, knowledgeable and delightful traveling companion through the desert. The sites were interesting, both for their history and the likely foreseeable changes that have already begun. If you want to understand both the history of the country before the oil explosion as well as its likely future I recommend this tour with Adil

Very nice adventure, it's was kind a journey back in time to see the old villages, as departed front he city of Doha. The mangrove were wonderful and also the fort was really nice to see it.
The guide, Asim, was great on explaining everything and taking the time to properly show and comment everything. While also having a laugh with him :)
I highly recommend to do this tour, just don't forget the solar cream, as the sun always shine on the beauty of Qatar:)

We quite enjoyed our northern tour although the weather was against us, with sandstorms and flurries making it unpleasant to spent too much time out of the car. The Al Zubara fort was a highlight, along with the rock formations. Our guide Zahid was an enthusiastic driver but left us to our own devices at the stops. Sadly the sandstorm precluded a visit to the camel races.

I booked this tour thinking that it would be a good way to see the diverse side of Qatar and I must say the tour exceeded my expectations.

My tour guide was Abdul Nasir and he was absolutely fabulous… nothing was too difficult, he explained Qatar’s cultural heritage and his knowledge of the places we visited was second to none.

If you are remotely even considering this tour just onboard, I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

I only had a limited time in Qatar and wanted to see as much as possible! The North and West full day tour was just the tour for that! Not only did I get to see North and West Qatar, but I also got to eat at a local restaurant in a local town off the beaten path!

Abdullah was my guide for the day and I highly recommend him!
