The experience was a high... - The experience was a high level overview of Doha for those on a layover. It was the right amount of detail and local exposure. the dune bashing was the best as we drove through the desert. The market and falcon shop were a favorite and Muhammed was extremely flexible and friendly.

Nice desert tour with good driver but overpriced food - Really liked our driver Jamshid...very friendly and helpful...as well as being an expert driver. Very nice experience in the dunes and some good photo opportunities. Some downsides though; Call center did not advise that driver did not take cash so had to stop at ATM At camel stop we were 2 but camels taken together in threes...lady on 3rd camel did not want to take long walk so we were forced to do short tour as well....also no coffee left at this stop The dinner at the end was a complete let down. ..basically cafeteria level food for an outrageous price. My recommendation; book the tour without the dinner and have a nice meal in town

Great dunes and dinner! - Jamshid was a great tour guide and photographer. We had a blast on the dunes and really enjoy the dinner. The beef kebabs and samosas were amazing. Really enjoyed the location for dinner as well. Right next the beach. Would highly recommend!

Awesome Experience - Jamshid was very polite and prompt on time. We had a good time with the dune bashing and camel rides! He allowed us to spend a lot of time near the water for the sunset! Would recommend this adventure to anyone coming to Qatar.

Enjoyable experience. Very professional team. - Had a fantastic time. Driver Jamshid was really good. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Had a great time doing a camel ride and got to hold a falcon while drinking some karak tea in the desert. Fantastic views of the desert at sunset and amazing where the desert meets the sea. Will definitely use them again
