We were staying in Doha a few days and decided to go on a half day tour with Qatar International Tours. Our tour guide, Jaylo and driver picked us up from our hotel. Jaylo was very engaging and we learnt so much about the old as well as the new Doha city as well as Qatar. Our first stop was the Al Zubarah Archaeological Site, which became listed as World Heritage in 2013. Our guide showed us to the rooms which explained the history and importance of this fort throughout history . Next stop was exploring the old deserted fishing village on the coast. So glad that are starting to restore the site. We then took a walk along the boardwalk of the Mangrove Nature Reserve on Purple Island. We also took a look at the fish markets to see what types of fish are caught. Jaylo then took us to a fabulous restaurant, Rotana, where we had a lovely lunch of fish and chicken and very tasty rice dish. In our return to Doha, our guide pointed out the main buildings. We were able to ask lots of questions and we learnt lots about this wonderful country.

Que dire de plus que les commentaires précédents ? Ayant vécu de nombreuses années dans les pays de la péninsule arabique, Haithem connaît parfaitement la culture locale. Très professionnel, maîtrisant l’arabe, l’anglais et le français ( ce qui est plutôt rare au Qatar), Haithem connaît parfaitement l’histoire du Qatar et a tissé de nombreux liens avec ses habitants. Cela lui permet d’adapter les circuits en fonction des centres d’intérêt de ses interlocuteurs. Il ne compte pas son temps, et ses précieuses connaissances qu’il prend plaisir à partager nous ont permis de mieux comprendre la société et la vie traditionnelle du Qatar. Nous le recommandons vivement.

Circuit très intéressant qui permet de découvrir l’histoire et la culture Qatari. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir un guide Francophone, Haithem, qui vit depuis plusieurs années au Qatar. Très professionnel, Haithem connaît parfaitement l’histoire du Qatar et a pu tisser des liens avec les habitants. Cela lui a permis d’adapter le circuit de la visite à nos centres d’interêt. Il ne compte pas son temps et ses précieuses connaissances nous ont permis de mieux comprendre la société et la vie traditionnelle du Qatar.

My favorite part of the tour was the Al Zubara Fort. It was picture perfect. Recommended place to visit when in Qatar. Our tour guide Jlo and our driver Hazeem was amazing! Jlo was very knowledgeable and entertaining the whole tour. Both Jlo and Hazeem provided excellent service.

I had a great time out with George. What an awesome tour. George was very knowledgeable about the history of the country and the various places we went to see. I can certainly recommend it as an interesting day out for those less interested in Dune bashing or quad biking!

I already knew QIT from a former holiday in the Gulf Region but my high expectations were more than fulfilled. Special thanks to my friendly and polite guide JLO. He provided my with a lot of information and background stories regarding the locations we visited. In addition to the described tour program and duration, JLO organised a visit at Baladna farm. He also chose a very beautiful location to see the mangroves at Al Thakira due to his long experience and good knowledge of the country. Many thanks for this interesting and memorable day in your lovely country :)

Nous avons eu la chance de faire ce tour avec Haitham un guide chauffeur francophone de Tunisie qui en plus d’être fort sympathique, était un puit de connaissance sur l’histoire du Qatar, mais aussi sur les traditions et coutumes qataries. Ce fut une expérience extrêmement intéressante de sortir de DOHA et de visiter une partie méconnue du pays. Tour vivement conseillé.
