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.”
