Our guide, Prakash, was couteous and very knowledgeable about the sites and the history However the sites were not worth the drive
This was a very enjoyable trip. We got to see the landscape of Qatar and visit many old and traditional sites. These included a fishing village, pearl diving locations and a famous fort. We also went through various villages and towns, with lunch at one of these. The guide was excellent and he gave a wonderful perspective of the society and the traditional life in Qatar. The trip took us to the top end of the country and to the gulf. The views were quite impressive and we were happy to get away from Doha, which is itself a nice, modern city. The trip is highly recommended.
Excellent trip - you do get to see quite a lot of the country and see the difference between the north and the capital city. I was a solo traveller but i was well looked after by my guide and felt very safe
