Review the North Qatar half-day tour from Doha, with Al Khor, Purple Island, mangroves, and Al Zubarah Fort.

“We booked this tour to fill some time before a late night flight home. The guide was very informative but his driving was a little crazy! You see the fish market, the dhow fishing boats, the mangroves and and impressive fort - a fair amount of driving, but it does give you a taste of life outside of the city.”

9.Half-Day North Qatar Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · from $110

Explore Al Zubara Fort, Purple Island, and Al Khor on a private five-hour North Qatar tour with transport, guide, Wi-Fi, and refreshments.

“Our tour guide had very little knowledge of why Purple Island exists or the history behind Al Zubarah Fort. In addition, our driver was a reckless on the road, driving at fast speeds. At one point, car almost skidded off the road. Other than that, the itinerary itself is so-so. Purple Island is basically a rock. Al Zubarah fort is the only one worth doing, just get a few photos and leave.”
