Private Shahania Bedouin Tour

Posted By : Irene P
Very unprofessional excursion, we started at 15.00 which was too late for the second half of the excursion, Sheikh Faisal Museum. We watched camel training at the racetrack for 30 minutes from our van after which we tried to enter the museum that closed at 16.30, in other words we missed completely the second part of our excursion. In addition, our guide was not at all aware that the visit of the museum was included in our excursion. His poor English skills didn’t help in solving the problem either. When I asked for a refund from the tour operator Travel Designer WLL, they agreed to give only 15 % back of the price.

Very disappointing excursion! The guide wasn’t at all aware that we had also paid for a visit of Sheikh Faisal museum in addition to Shahaniya Camel Racetrack. The excursion was scheduled to begin at 15.00 fixed by the company which meant that after having observed the camels for 30 minutes from a van it was too late to enter the museum that closed at 16.30. In other words we missed half of the program. The guide could hardly speak English which complicated the problem even more.

Great tour. Sam was an excellent guide. Driving the camel track during the race was fun. Museum was surprisingly good.

Our guide was very accommodating & we had amazing fun! From riding the camels, taking pics with a falcon (not included in package, but only 20QAR), the ride in the vehicle Al through the desert, sandboarding, and visiting the sea that borders Saudi Arabia, each experience was unique. Going in the afternoon was a good choice as well bc the sunset was able to make the photos come out that much better.

We would definitely do this again given the chance.

Bad experience, this is not a tour.
It would have been the same to take our own transportation (Uber, taxi) to get there and see the same thing (nothing).
We watched the track race and the camels from the van for about 10-15 min and that was it.
The operator was very kind but he knew little or nothing about the places visited, he did not even know that the tour included the entrance to the museum and it seemed that it was his first time visiting it.

Don't waste your money on this tour, it's not worth it.

Sam was a very knowledgeable guide and showed us several other points of interest. FBQ museum only had 50 out of the 600 cars in display - disappointing.
