Tours you should join if you're going to Doha - It was a lot of fun. They made the tour comfortable in the large car. They answered our request and it was a great stay in Doha. It was a same-day reservation, but the message was smooth. The driver and the guide were very nice, thank you!

GREAT TRIP! - M Jan was an excellent driver! He took us to the camel races and was a very skilled driver. He raced along side the camels getting us great views, and then took us to the finish line to get a different view. After following another race we went to the starting line and got some great pictures. He also took us to a museum which was amazing. I cannot recommend M Jan enough! Best tour guide and driver I have ever had!

Awesome Trip - Kudos once again to the QIT team for their exceptional service! Starting with smooth assistance from Same, they truly set the tone for a memorable trip. A special shoutout to M. Jaan, who went above and beyond as an incredible tour guide and driver. He arrived on time, shared personalized information, and ensured every moment was comfortable and enjoyable. I can’t thank the QIT team enough for making my first camel race an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a top-notch tour company in Qatar, QIT should definitely be your first choice. Once again, thank you so much!

Camel Race that must try - Redefining the true meaning of a luxury. A rare opportunity to connect in a traditional and historically event that being practice by the locals for so many years. Camel racing is indeed a thrilling spectacle, especially in the Middle East. It combines tradition, culture, and competition, drawing large crowds to witness the event. Tradition and Heritage: Camel racing has deep roots in Bedouin culture and is often associated with celebrations and festivals. Racing Events: Races can attract thousands of spectators and involve various categories based on age, breed, and experience of the camels. Cultural Significance: These races are not just about competition; they also showcase the beauty and strength of the camels, celebrating the bond between humans and these remarkable animals. Interested to experience the Camel Race at the Al Shahaniya? Contact the Qatar International Tour and they will guide you for all information and arrangement that you need. We just had a wonderful tour today with their Tour Guide Mohammad Jaan.

Great Half Day Tour - 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.

QIT came through - 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!

A Mixed Bag - 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.
