Overview

Your tour begins with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in Doha, setting the stage for an exciting day ahead. As you leave the city behind, you will head toward the charming northern regions of Qatar. This tour offers you a unique opportunity to discover Al Khor, a beautiful coastal city renowned for its rich fishing history, stunning beaches, and scenic beauty. The journey will introduce you to the hidden gems of northern Qatar, giving you a true taste of both the ancient and modern sides of the country. With the guidance of an experienced tour leader, you'll explore the authentic sights that most tourists miss, from fascinating cultural landmarks to breathtaking natural wonders.


One of the main highlights of the tour is a visit to Al Zubara Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort dates back to the 18th century and is one of Qatar’s most significant historical landmarks. This site provides deep insight into Qatar’s maritime past and the rich trading heritage that shaped the region. You'll explore the fort's sturdy walls and rooms, hearing captivating stories from your guide about the fort's historical role and its importance in the defense of Qatar against invasions. As you walk around the fort, you’ll be able to appreciate the peaceful surroundings, with expansive views of the desert landscape, offering a stark contrast to the bustling cities.


For nature lovers, the tour offers a chance to witness the raw beauty of Qatar’s northern coast.

Stop at the picturesque beaches of Al Khor, known for their crystal-clear waters and sandy shores. It’s an ideal spot for a leisurely walk, taking in the calming sounds of the ocean, or simply soaking up the sun. The northern coastline is also home to rich biodiversity, and the region’s mangrove forests and wetlands are a perfect environment for birdwatching. The area is a haven for migratory birds, offering excellent opportunities to spot flamingos, herons, and other species.


The tour ensures that every detail is taken care of so that you can relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. You’ll be transported in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring that you are always at ease.
