Sheikh Faisal Museum is a heritage venue that exposes a large diversified collection of unique and extraordinary artifacts from the Jurassic age to the early Islamic period and up to the present. After your time travel to the past, another exciting activity awaits as you watch the camel training at the camel race track, hundreds of camel can be seen there and a robot jockey which is commonly used on camels in camel racing as a replacement for human jockey.

My family ended up taking a tour with QIT because Viator made a mistake and forgot about us. QIT was able to contact Ibrahim Bangash, who guided us to the race track. We got a good look at the stables and track due to his personal contacts, so the tour turned out very well. We lost about an hour of the tour due to the mistake by Viator, so we never made it to the museum, but our main focus was on the camel track anyway, so that was not a problem. Ibrahim did a good job with his last-minute assignment!

Viator is ordinarily great, but they really let us down on this one. I arranged for the tour months in advance and got confirmation of payment a few days before the trip, but no one ever showed up or made contact. I had to make a long distance phone call to sort it out. The company said we were overlooked because there were so many cruise passengers in that day. What kind of excuse is that? Anyway, Viator had to contact another tour company to get us someone last minute. They woke him up out of bed, actually. We had lost about an hour and 15 minutes by the time he arrived. Then there was massive confusion about the nature of the tour, but our guide — Ibrahim Bangash — got it sorted out due to his personal contacts and the tour ended up quite well. We didn’t make it to the museum due to the loss of time, but that was ok because our focus was on the camels and racetrack anyway. So the tour turned out alright due to Qatar International Tour of Doha.

Our family took a half day tour of the camel racetrack and the Sheikh Faisal Museum as well as horse stables. We took the tour through Qatar International Tours and it was a great morning of seeing the sites. Our guide was patient with me as I asked a lot of questions. Would definitely recommend this tour company and the experience.

The car came to pick us up at exactly 9 am. The tour started and Jay pretty much knew something interesting about each and every building we saw on the way out of the city. Each question we asked he was able to answer and provide some interesting story or information. The camel market/race track were really intriguing and we were able to take pictures of the camels and their robot trainers while they were on the go. We then went to the museum of Sheikh Faisal where we spent hour and thirty minutes. It was pretty cool although somewhat disorganised. I definitely recommend it however just be aware its not your regular museum since it has stuff from all around the world put together. There are guns, swords, furniture, cars, statues, really everything. Then we visited horse ranches, with beautiful European and Arabic horses where we were able to see how they are trained and taken care of. We went back to the hotel at exactly 1pm and on the way back we, again talked with Jay about some really interesting topics. Really good tour and tour guide, we definitely recommend the experience.

We went to the equestrian center first and had a nice tour of the faclities-indoor and outdoor arenas, show barns, exercise areas where the horses work in water, spas and on treadmills. We saw them getting ready for a show jumping competition and got up close to many of these beautiful Arabain horses. The trip to the camel race track was not as good as the camels were not racing that day and we could only see them laying down and resting. We did get to see the tiny robots that ride the camels on the race track. The Sheikh Faisel Museum was a vaste collection of items from all types of interests. There were cars, cameras, furniture, clothing, carpets, fossils and so many more treasures. It was a nice place to visit with something for all ages.

I recently went on a weeklong trip in Qatar and QIA took care of all of our activities for the week including pick up and drop off at the airport. I also took this day long trip as a solo traveler. My guide was Eric- he is fantastic! Very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. The day trip was excellent.
Throughout the week we also went dune bashing (so fun!) and to museums and the souks. All trips were well planned and very enjoyable as Eric always took care of our group and made sure that everything happened on time and went according to plan.

The camel race track was amazing and i enjoyed the Sheikh Faisal although my guide was more interested in showing me all the museum that we didnt get to see the equestrian club which was disappointing, but he did take me to see the Sheikh's private collection of race horses. I would have preferred to see the equestrian club than the museum if time is limited. It should be mentioned in your notes that there isnt time to see all 3 and maybe guests can have a choice at what to see from all 3 activities
