Tasty and interesting food tour through Souq Waqqif. - Did Embrace Doha’s local food tour this afternoon / evening with guide Maryam R. It was wonderful. She accommodated my vegetarian diet, took me on a delightful food sampling tour through Souk Waqqif. Maryam explained the dishes, the culture, answered all my questions. It was delightful and Maryam was wonderful. She communicated easily in English - via WhatsApp with the details of where to meet, and in person throughout our walking culinary tour. Whether you’re solo or pet of a small group, I highly recommend this.

5 out of 5 Stars! Wonderful Food Tour - This is an outstanding small group tour for visitors to Doha. Led by two friendly local guides, we explored the Souq Waqif market on foot, sampling sweets (including delicious Yemeni honey, dates rolled in fennel), breads, traditional home cooking and learning about the use of spices and influences to Qatari cuisine. We then sat down for a full meal at a club, eating on the carpet with our fingers, as is the local custom. Having done food tours earlier this year in Zurich and Milan, both of which were ok but nothing special, I was amazed at the number of market stops we made and the generous portions. We loved it!!

Learning Qatar through food - Good tour with interesting stops at the traditional market. Each stop I was able to sample some local dishes and learned their culture heritages. Our guide Maryam was super friendly and knows the culture components very well. I learned a lot and enjoyed the trip very much. Highly recommended!

Great informative souk food tour - We were lucky enough to have a private tour with Maryam. She took us around the souk, explaining the history and local culture and introducing us to traditional foods to taste. She even introduced us to the game of dama! Really informative, friendly, answering all our questions and showing us the best places to buy spices. We ended our tour with a delicious meal in a local restaurant. Really enjoyable tour, thanks Maryam!
