I wanted to see the Richard Serra sculptures in the western part of Qatar but ended up experiencing and learning about so much more, thanks to my friendly, fun and welcoming guide, Ali. He shared a lot about the local culture and the area and was happy to answer all my questions as well as personal anecdotes and history that made me appreciate Qatari culture and the land all that much more.
Great communication before the trip to coordinate pick up and was very flexible and accommodating in terms of where I wanted to spend more time. Visited the camel race tracks, the rock formations, a few historic buildings, and the sea. The Serra sculptures were incredibly stunning to experience, as was the overall landscape, and Ali was very skilled in driving through the rocky desert terrain. The vehicle was also super clean, spacious, and very comfortable. He took great photos and was also happy to share tips and recommendations for other areas to explore during my short time there. Was an amazing adventure–highly recommend touring with Ali!
