Experience Qatar

Experience Qatar (trading as Experience Tours and Events Services W.L.L) is a Doha-based Destination Management Company and reseller that packages and sells tours, shore excursions, desert safaris, sea-based experiences (dhows, yachts, island trips), bespoke MICE and event programs, stopover packages and special-event hospitality (e.g. F1 packages). The company website and corporate pages state it was founded during the pandemic (site: “founded in 2020”) by Abdulrahman Sajid and is licensed by Qatar Tourism (registered company name and registration details appear in the site Terms). Experience Qatar positions itself as a full-service DMC: it operates guided city tours, desert safaris, overnight camping, kayaking and eco-tours, private yacht charters, team-building and corporate programs, and a small souvenir store. The website claims 40,000+ customers served and the operator maintains consumer listings and reviews on TripAdvisor and other aggregator sites; their LinkedIn page shows ~6k followers and frequent trade-show activity (ITB, IMEX) and membership/partnerships (e.g., 1 DMC World). Business model & scale: Experience Qatar is primarily a B2C reseller/DMC that sources local service providers (drivers, guides, vessel operators, camps, vehicle fleets and venues) and retails packaged and bespoke experiences through its own booking website. The company publicly states it is integrated with Bokun as a booking/operations technology partner and takes online payments in Qatari Riyals (site Terms). The business also runs MICE and event contracting for corporate clients, which provides higher-volume opportunities for suppliers during peak event seasons (Formula 1, conferences, conventions). LinkedIn and trade collateral show a small core team (site and LinkedIn list several named managers and roles) but repeated mentions in trade media and partnerships indicate an outsized operational footprint for a locally focused DMC. Value to SUPPLIERS: For tour/activity operators and experience suppliers in Qatar, Experience Qatar offers a distribution channel into both individual travelers and higher-yield MICE/Events business; they actively market through social and trade channels, operate seasonal and event-focused packages (F1, stopovers), and claim a turnkey booking and payment flow via Bokun and their website. They position themselves as a licensed, locally embedded partner with language/cultural capability, physical operations (transfers, guides, vessels) and trade relationships with airlines, hotels and insurers, which can bring steady bookings during peak seasons and events. Technology & operations: consumer bookings are processed on the Experience Qatar website (prices quoted in QAR), payments accepted by card and bank transfer, and operations are managed using Bokun (stated on their 'Our Partners' page), which implies standard channel/connectivity options for suppliers who use Bokun-compatible channels. Recent & reputational notes: Experience Qatar is visible on TripAdvisor with positive guest reviews for desert and sea experiences; it actively promotes MICE and event services and attends trade shows (ITB, IMEX). No public venture funding or revenue disclosures were found. Overall it operates as a professionally branded local DMC/reseller well-suited to connect local suppliers with consumer and corporate demand, especially around large events and seasonal tourism peaks.
