“North Tour with Saloo was organized and smooth. Pickup was on time. Vehicle was clean and comfortable. We visited: • Al Zubarah Fort • Purple Island • Al Khor Corniche Saloo explained the history clearly. He shared real facts about Qatar’s heritage and culture. He gave enough time for photos and walking. The drive was safe. The schedule was well managed. Cold water was provided. If you want to see the north of Qatar in one day, this tour is a smart choice. Thank you, Saloo, for a professional and friendly experience.”

I did a North tour with our guide abood it was amazing experience
The tour was a complete fiasco from start to finish. Our guide, Hassan, arrived 20 minutes late for pickup, despite us being the first clients, and then sent us a message in capital letters telling us to hurry up. We spent a long time driving around Doha to collect other guests, starting the tour 1.5 hours late. His driving was reckless — ignoring traffic rules, speeding, and failing to keep safe distances. We nearly had a serious accident with a truck, after which he aggressively confronted the driver despite being at fault. The stops (Al Zubarah Fort, old village ruins, and the mangroves) were not worth the excessive driving time. On the way back, he was falling asleep at the wheel and had to be kept awake by a client. We returned 1 hour and 45 minutes late. Out of 5 hours and 25 minutes, 4 hours were spent driving and only 1 hour and 25 minutes on activities.
Saloo was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He explained the history clearly and made the tour interesting from start to finish. The timing was perfect.

Saloo is a great Guide.
