Highlights

On this Doha experience, you get the best of Qatar – city and desert. Explore the main attractions of Doha, and for a bit of adventure, head to the desert.

Doha Tour (3–4h): This portion is designed to give you the feel of the city’s character—a comfortable way to take in Doha’s blend of old and new.

Desert Safari (3–4h): The second half of the tour lets you explore the natural side of the Qatari desert. Enjoy a scenic dune drive in a 4×4 over the Arabian desert with stops along the way. You’ll have time to get out, explore on foot, and take in the surroundings. Pace and activity level will be adjusted to your preferences.

Tour Overview

The journey begins with a private city tour covering Doha’s must-see landmarks and cultural highlights. Wander through the colorful alleys of Souq Waqif, take in panoramic views of the city from the historic Old Doha Port area. Admire the architectural marvel of the FIFA World Cup Stadium and learn about Qatar’s World Cup legacy. Drive along the scenic Doha Corniche, see the city’s iconic skyline, catch a glimpse of local life on the luxury Pearl-Qatar Island and visit Katara cultural village.

Then, the adventure shifts.

Head out to the desert for an exciting off-road journey. We will take you on a dune-bashing experience across the sands of the Arabian desert. The journey culminates at the breathtaking Inland Sea (Khor Al Adaid)—a UNESCO-recognized natural wonder, where the sea meets the dunes.

Why Souqs & Dunes?

Our journey in tourism began as a small family idea – inspired by our own love for travel – to organize exciting trips to Qatar for enthusiasts like us. Soon, we decided to turn our passion into a boutique travel company.

Today, we are a team of professionals with many years of experience, creating
unique trips , constantly evolving, and proud to have preserved family values such as trust and support.

We design each tour—whether a vibrant city exploration or an exciting desert adventure—to capture and share the true essence of Arabic culture

 Verified Time Well Spent in Doha - Very Much Recommend We had a 15 hour layover landing at 5:30 pm and did the city night tour. It was a fantastic way to spend our time and would highly recommend. Sadiq was a great guide and we learned a ton about Qatar and Doha. Our favorite stop was getting a snack at the Souq Waqif! This was time very well spent.

 Verified After midnight layover? Take this tour! We had an overnight layover in Doha and were thrilled that we could take a midnight tour to learn more about Qatar. It was absolutely worth it! Our guide Sadiq drove us around and answered our dozens of questions. We learned about the lives of Qatari citizens and residents, what housing is like, the education system, health care, religion, the government, etc. Everything was closed so we only saw the exteriors of buildings and areas (we got out several times to walk around and take photos) - everything we saw was so modern and clean and beautiful! Really impressive, similar to Dubai but less touristy. Definitely recommend this tour!

 Verified A grand introduction to Doha Lika and her friend Sadiq provided us with a fantastic introduction to Doha! She is absolutely passionate about sharing her city, her country and her knowledge with visitors. In just 4 hours we traveled from modern Doha to it's foundation and storied past. With Sadiq safely driving us to Lika's dialogue we felt safe wherever we went. Normally we don't write reviews of our travels but Lika is remarkably good and deserves the accolades that led us to choosing her to be our personal guide Thanks Lika!!

 Verified Awesome This was a compact and informative tour and money well spent. We had 8 hours in Doha on our way to Thailand. We could have spent our time in the airport lounge but this was definitely more valuable. We were two adults with two teenage sons and our ten your old daughter. We were all engaged in learning about the history, royalty, culture, politics, traditions, religions, demographics, geography, topography, food and art and architecture of the people of Qatar. This was whilst being driven around in the comfort of an air conditioned Land Cruiser, with very timely stop offs for photos. Thanks to Arshad for organising and Sadiq for showing us this beautiful city. We now feel like we’ve had two proper holidays in one.

 Verified Phenomenal! The whole experience was honestly phenomenal. I had a stopover from midnight to 8am and was keen to get out but nervous as a solo. Booking with Arshad was easy and communication (via WhatsApp) was excellent. My guide was Ibrahim, a very knowledgeable and personable guy and I had a great time seeing all the essentials of Doho. He was my guide, driver and photographer lol! Even at 3am it was remarkably active with people out and about and food places open. Everywhere we went was clean and safe. We got back to the airport with heaps of time to spare and I had no issues getting airside. I cannot recommend the midnight tour more highly. Just do it!
