Zubara Fort - Really beautiful experience! The private tour in northern Qatar was excellently organized and allowed us to discover authentic and fascinating places. Zubara Fort is rich in history and very atmospheric, while Purple Island and mangroves are an unexpected and relaxing corner of nature. Special thanks to Taj Mohammad, a professional guide, kind and always available, who made the experience even more enjoyable with his explanations and attention. A tour absolutely recommended!
