Step into a quieter, more authentic side of Qatar on this guided North Qatar tour — where history, culture, and desert beauty meet. Led by a passionate local guide, this journey goes beyond landmarks to reveal the untold stories of Qatar’s northern heritage.
Begin your adventure with a scenic drive through the desert landscapes and coastal villages. Your guide will share fascinating tales of pearl divers, traders, and Bedouins who shaped the region. Visit the Al Zubarah Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore its ancient walls while hearing about Qatar’s early days of trade and defense.
Continue toward Al Ruwais, a peaceful fishing village that reflects Qatar’s traditional coastal life. Feel the sea breeze, capture photos of old dhows, and experience a moment of calm away from the city rush.
