Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Wesque0 contributionsGreat day out of DohaI had a priviledge to enjoy a private tour with Bilal. We drove straight to the fishing village Al Khor which after headed to the Purple Island to see the mangroves. Al Zubara fortress was the last place to visit, well worth visiting if interested in local history. Thanks to Bilal for an interesting day out of Doha.Written March 24, 2025

- Relax443743691180 contributionsDesert safari with SayeedExcellent morning in the desert with Sayed. After a short drive south of the city past the oil refineries and into the desert. First stop off for a camel ride and photo op and then over the dunes towards the inland sea. Excellent driving/sliding across the dunes….. not for the faint hearted… but Sayed is clearly highly skilled at driving in the desert! Next stop sand boarding and then on to the inland sea before heading back in to town. Great morning out, thank you Sayed.Written March 22, 2025
- MnTaylor100 contributionsHighly recommend!Sayed Hassan was the best guide! My husband and I did this tour from 3-9pm and it exceeded expectations! We enjoyed every moment. The dune bashing was a highlight and the photos with the camels on the ride as a great reminder of the time we had. Sayed was attentive, answered all our questions and was a great driver!!Written March 22, 2025
- eduardocP3884KA0 contributionsGreat experience!Our desert safari was really fun. We booked a private one, and our driver Mujahid was very helpful, reaching us out the day before to arrange a meeting point. He was also very kind to take our luggage from hotel and drive us at the end of the ride directly to airport. The camel ride, dune bashing, and sand boarding were all great experiences! The only downside part is that we booked for 14:30 with the hopes to see sunset, but the weather was too cloudy and we could not see it. Well, we don't control weather, so we are subject to it. But it didn't made our experience any worse. I wouldn’t still recommend this ride for anyone coming to Doha.Written March 22, 2025

My husband and I throughly enjoyed our tour of Doha and we highly recommend this tour to others, especially if you have extra time during a long layover. Ali is extremely knowledgeable and engaging as our host and tour guide. He listened to some of our specific requests along the way and ensured we were able to see and experience everything that we wanted to include, along with the outlined itinerary. We had such a good time with Ali, that I also recommended him to my Brother who was visiting Qatar shortly after our visit. Ali’s communication with us was always responsive, the pick up instructions were easy/clear and overall it was a safe and fun way to take in the city.

We had eleven hours layover in Doha so we booked the Doha Private Transit City Tour From Hamad international Airport. Our guide Bilal Hussain was excellent. We got a real taste of Doha. Bilal was very knowledgeable, and we enjoyed walking around different parts of the city.

We had an amazing introductory tour of Doha with Ali. He met us at the airport on arrival. Communication through WhatsApp was excellent. He drove us to the Market where he walked us through the shops narrating the local history and culture, introducing us to vendors and allowing us to try various treats. Our dinner was outstanding - we asked him to bring us to a traditional kabob place he frequently enjoys and we convinced Ali to join us for dinner - the naan and hummus were a traditional Lebanese recipe and was delicious. He brought us all over Doha, we visited the traditional cultural center, a gorgeous Greek inspired amphitheater where he was encouraged us to sing and listen to the ponderous acoustics, a beautiful mosque, Pearl Island and an area known as little Venice. In four hours we saw much and loved our time with Ali!! So grateful for these memories. We would recommend him as a guide to anyone who travels to Doha. Thank you Ali!!

I had an amazing experience with Javid as our tour guide in Doha. He was incredibly friendly and nice, making the tour enjoyable from start to finish. Javid was very accommodating with our schedule, ensuring we could explore and absorb the rich history of the city. His knowledge about Doha's past was impressive, and he shared fascinating stories that brought the city to life. I highly recommend Javid for anyone looking to discover the beauty and heritage of Doha!

This was a fantastic tour. I had 12 hours layover at the airport so decided to explore Doha...I was a woman travelling alone so was a bit sceptical but from the moment I booked, Ali made contact and made me feel very safe. Collection from the airport was seamless and the tour was exceptional. Travelling to the mosque and all around the city was so interesting and we finished off at the souk which was a cultural delight. I highly recommend this tour and Ali to anyone wanting to experience the true culture of Doha!

Since I was going to Doha for the first time in over a decade, I wanted to visit places that were special to me, so instead of using an existing tour, I chose Falcon Tours, which can respond flexibly to any situation. Ali was in charge.
Although we only had four hours, he guided us to as many of the spots we requested as possible, and also introduced us to various new and old spots from the car, drove slowly so that we could take photos from the car, and explained the places to us, providing us with a thoughtful service.
Ali was very friendly and willing to accommodate our sudden requests (I want to eat shuarma, I want to see a hawk, etc.), and we had a lot of fun chatting in the car during the trip! His English was easy to understand and not too accented, and it was helpful that he was able to understand our poor English.
I would definitely like to use him again if I have the opportunity. Thank you!

We couldn't have asked for a better evening than the one we had on our tour of Doha with Ali. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He taught us about the history of the country and city, and took extra care to show us the best parts of the souq and made sure we always had great shots for our photo albums. He helped us order a delicious meal with all of the local favorites at the end of the tour. We would definitely recommend booking with him!

We were looking for a little trip to visit Doha during our scale at the airport. It was perfect!
Bilal was our perfect guide, he brought us to the most important places in Doha, just 4 hours and we could learn and visit allí the city by car.
We visited a market where we bought souvenirs, a mosque, little Venice, the museums...
We recomend this trip 100%.

This was our second extended layover in the Middle East and by far the best. We wanted to make the most of our 9-hour time limit so we booked the night tour and was not disappointed. Ali was an exceptional tour guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and great at his job. He ensured that we made the most of our tour by not only visiting the sights but proving context and history at each location. While we didn’t choose the meal option, we were hungry and Ali took us to a wonderful local restaurant that definitely was a community favorite. We enjoyed ourselves more than we imagined. Our only regret is that we should have stayed in Doha longer because there were so many places that Ali recommended that we would have loved to explore.

Hi I will have a longer layover at Doha International airport on my way back from Kathmandu in April 2020. Flight is scheduled to arrive at 7:20 pm. Is it still possible to do an evening private tour of Doha starting later than the regular 6:30 pm departure?
