I have no words to describe best this tour. Amir Khan was the absolute best , from taking us all over and answering the million questions my husband had. The boat ride was definitely beautiful and gives you a different perspective from day to night. The food at the market was absolutely delicious and had to go get some to go before we left. Can't recommend it enough!

The tour offered an excellent overview of Doha and it’s growth over the last 25 to 30 years and Qatar‘s change from a rural pearl diving culture to a modern LPG exporter. Junaidd was a fount of information and made the journey both educational and entertaining.
