Excellent tour

We chose Falcon’s North of Doha tour to see something more of Qatar than the city. Left at 6 am to avoid the heat, which turned out as very good idea. Amir was driver and guide and was excellent—personable, informative and flexible. Good aircon and cold water. Interesting itinerary and we finished feeling that we understood more of the country.

Great tour
