“I really enjoyed my second day of touring Doha with Adil. I loved the time visiting the massive art exhibited that were largely in the desert. I learned and laughed so much! If you have 2 days in Doha like I did, do a city tour (day and night), a desert safari, and this exploration of other parts of Qatar!”
