(Private) Doha Night City Tours With or Without Local Meal

My layover tour in Doha was AMAZING! My pick up at the airport was very smooth. I met Javid right outside the arrivals where he said he'd be. We started the tour with the Qatar Cultural Museum and the Islamic Art Museum. Javid was a fantastic photographer and answered all my questions about Qatari history and culture. He treated me to a delicious chai tea, and then we explore the West Bay and the Pearl. I would highly recommend having the local meal!! It was FANTASTIC - some of the best chicken and tandoori roti bread I've ever had. Our walk through the Souq was the perfect way to end the evening. However, my only note here would be to go at a slower pace through the Souq. I really enjoy peaking into each stall and we didn't take the time to do that! But I also could have asked to slow down. I was back at the airport with plenty of time, and felt safe and comfortable the whole time!! I 110% recommend doing the layover tour if you have more than 7 hours in Qatar!

Great way to see Doha during a layover! Amir was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We walked though the market, souq waqif, incredible sights, sounds and smells.

Sadiq with Falcon tours was amazing!! He went above and beyond to ensure we got the best Doha experience in 4 hours

Amir is a fabulous tour guide! You took my friend and I for nighttime tour of Doha, Stop whatever we wanted to take pictures and was completely accommodating to whatever we wanted to do. I told him he could not have been nicer to us if I had been his own grandmother he drove us around in a luxurious SUV And picked us up precisely on time. He could not have been more delightful! I strongly recommend asking for a mirror and picked us up precisely on time. He could not have been more delightful! I strongly recommend asking for. Amir!

Our guide was Khan for our long layover on our way to Tanzania. He was waiting for us outside at marker 4, as I was told he would be. He was a friendly chap. I liked him immediately! He drove us to all the major city attractions, allowed us to get out to take some photos, explained the sites to us, etc. Khan spent almost 6 hours with us on our tour. We enjoyed many sites, maybe we asked a lot of questions! The only disappointment was the market was closed by the time we finished dinner. We would have liked to see all the market vendors selling and enjoying the marketplace. Overall, it was a wonderful tour during out long layover in Doha! Highly recommend!

Fares called us the day before to try to see if there were any alterations in the booked plan that he could change to make it better for us. In the end we texted him when we were through immigration and he came to pick us up right away. About 45 minutes before the scheduled 6:30 pm time slot. When he arrived I told him that it would be great if we could actually see a nice mosque. He not only took us to a beautiful mosque. The grand mosque. But got us there in time for the call to prayer. It was a very moving experience made more so by fares’ explanations. On our tours fares seemed to know everyone. I told him I needed a belt and he took me to a store in the market. When we arrived the shopkeeper had just had two teas delivered for himself and his assistant and he insisted we drink them. I purchased the belt $15 and also a cane $35 and for $2 more the shopkeeper put more holes in my old belt. I had been admiring this banner but decided not to purchase it. The shopkeeper insisted that I have it as a gift. Though the falcon hospital was closed fares got the security guard to open it up and allow us to walk around. The effect was that we saw the warmth of people and felt more like we were in a small town out of the 1950’s than in a big city. Finally I asked many questions. Most about Islam. Fares was obviously a very pious man for whom his faith was very important. He answered all of my questions even the ones that I was slightly hesitant to ask because I feared they might be perceived as rude. Qatar rocks. And so does this tour guide. Highly recommended!!!
