Explore north Qatar from Doha with a private guide, visiting Al Khor, Purple Island, Zubara Fort, mangroves, and Al Jumail.

“The driver was good. But the tour office did not communicate with him clearly on the itinerary so he was not sure what was listed. Since the tour took about 5 hours, the office wanted to charge more, even though it says on the website that it is a 4 to 5 hours tour. The places we went were not that interesting either.”
