If you are within 48 hours of arriving in Doha and you cannot see availability to book a tour, please come and see us in the Duty Free area of Hamad International Airport, where we can check live availability for you.  See map  for our location.

When travelling through Qatar, there’s no need to wish your time away at the airport. If your transit is 6 hours and more, you can turn your stop into an extended holiday by joining a city tour of Doha, the city where modernity meets Arabic tradition, or a desert adventure taking in the incredible Inland Sea. For transit times of 4 hours or more, we recommend that you Discover the Art of the Airport with our expert guide. 

We have made this as simple as possible for you, taking care of all arrangements for your transit and ensuring you are back in good time for your following flight so that you can make the most of your transit time and taking a break from your travels to discover Qatar and explore its unique Arabic heritage before connecting to your final destination.

• kellytU2991AL 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Dune Bashing was my favorite! Videos and pictures don’t do it justice-I had ridden a camel before, but dune bashing was new to me and it was like being on a rollercoaster for a half hour-it was so much fun, we were laughing and crying from laughing so hard 😂 It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. Saleh and Sajid took care of us and made it an adventure, but this would not necessarily be for those who get motion sick-some in our car did not realize how long and intense it would be, but were so excited, they made it through. We also got to go sandboarding and dip our feet into the Persian Gulf. We had so much fun!! Read more Written April 25, 2024

• joshuaabrahamb 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing Doha with a Kind and Knowledgeable Tour Guide I’m a solo traveller and I think for me, it is important to have a tour guide and a companion at the same time. I’m happy to have Yam from Q Adventure and Transit Tours as my travel buddy to explore the shining jewel of Qatar, Doha! Yam is kind, he let me have my breakfast first in my hotel and waited for me. I can tell he is really knowledgeable after hearing him share history and fun facts of the places we went. It’s also really nice that he can take good photos! Overall, it was an amazing experience! Thank you Yam and Q Adventure and Transit Tours! 😊❤️ Read more Written April 14, 2024

• 659antonv 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great tour to experience Doha in 4 hours In 4 hours we have seen a big part of Doha. Our guide Yam told a lot of interesting facts about the buildings, bit also about the history, the culture and the current way of living. When you have just one day in Doha (as we had) this is a great way to spend that day. Read more Written April 11, 2024
