Overview
Doha is a night city. Everything that feels sluggish at two in the afternoon — the souq, the corniche, the families out walking — comes alive after eight. We start at Souq Waqif when the lamps come on, eat where the guides eat rather than where the tour groups eat, take a short dhow out for the skyline, and finish at Katara or the Pearl depending on the night.

Frequently asked
Two tasting stops are included, which most people find is enough. If you want a full sit-down meal, tell your guide and they will build it in.
If the harbour master closes the bay we replace it with a Corniche drive and an extra stop. The tour price does not change.
