It was a good trip getting out of the city. We went mid day so not much happening at mangroves or the fishing port. Interesting to drive across the desert, especially when it was windy (so much sand & dust in the air). Bilal was our guide and he was friendly, interesting and knowledgeable. But what was the highlight for us was after Fort Zubara, we asked Bilal, if it was possible to take us to the art installation nearby (shadows traveling on the sea of the day). He agreed. We loved it.

Bilal was a very informative and great guide. Also a great driver. The flora and fauna of the north and west are very beautiful and show that Qatar has more to offer than just desert and skyscrapers. Definitely recommend doing this tour with Bilal as your guide!
