About

A private Doha city tour is a guided 4 to 5 hour trip that covers Qatar's capital in one go, from the old market at Souq Waqif to the modern waterfront at The Pearl and Lusail, with a certified local guide and private air-conditioned transport. Gulf Desert Rose runs it as a private tour, so the pace and the stops are yours, and it is rated 4.9 by more than 180 travellers.

You start in old Doha, walking the lanes of Souq Waqif, then move along the Corniche for the skyline and the dhow harbour, through the cultural side at Katara, and out to the modern islands of The Pearl, Lusail and Gewan. A certified guide handles the history and the route while you take it in, and because it is private, you can add time at the stops you care about most. Pickup is included from your hotel, the airport, or the cruise terminal, which makes it an easy fit for first-time visitors and layover travellers alike.
