Doha: Safari, ATV, Camels, Sandboarding and Inland Sea Tour

1.Safari, ATV, Camels, Sandboarding and Inland Sea Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5,291 reviews · 4 - 5 hours · from $32Our pick

Review of Doha’s desert safari with dune bashing, camels, sandboarding, Khor al Adaid, transport, costs, tips, and who should book.

“Our guide was Nofal Minnoos and he was extremey professional and entertaining. He was very knowledgable about the Qatar's history and significance and answered almost all of our questions. The trip itself was designed well, by introducing to group fellows, stopping for quick Kadak Tea and later doing Dune Bashing as per our requirements. I think this tour was great activity and the best time to do this was 2:00PM as we witnessed beautiful sunset over the inland sea. Great value of money. 100% recommended especially for solo female travellers.”

Review of Antalya’s rafting, zipline, jeep, buggy, and quad adventure, with practical tips on price, lunch, transport, and what to expect.

“Very, very good value for money. We did all 4 activities - you may as well, as no matter how many you do, you have the same transfer as the others (unless that's just in the winter). Stunning scenery and gorgeous river. You get one of the longer rafting sessions with Tornado too (14km). Lunch was great - bbq chicken, rice, pasta and salad. Extra hire items (wet shoes, wet suits etc) all optional and reasonably priced. The staff we're really friendly and informative. We had a great day out and highly recommend, especially for the price!”

“My partner and I had a brilliant time. I’m not sure what people are complaining about regarding how much off-road driving there is! For us it was a perfect mix of sightseeing on road and ragging it through the off-road trails. No trouble with any language barriers with the guides, they explained everything to do with the buggies, the local roads, and were also really nice. Transfer from the hotel was easy, just be sure to check for an email with instructions of where to wait around your specific hotel - had I not checked when I did then we could’ve missed it. The buggies are what they are: loud,…”
