Mr. Mohammed guided us to Zubara Fort, Zubarah Port village, Shadow Travelling on the sea of the Day, and Purple Island. Especially, the historical places were so interes. Also, his driving skill was very good and his character was so honest. We could travel safely and have a good memory.

Somewhat interesting but not worth the $165 I paid to go solo for 3 hours to see 4 flat steel pillars in the middle of a desert.
