Hello! I'm Mubi, a seasoned tour guide with extensive expertise in revealing the enchanting tapestry of Qatar. With more than 4 years of guiding under my belt, I've embarked on a journey to explore and understand this fascinating nation from its core. Since I settled here, my curiosity led me to delve into Qatar's history, culture, and unique blend of tradition and innovation. This passion gradually evolved into a profession as I honed my skills and knowledge to become a trusted guide, committed to showcasing the heart and soul of Qatar to fellow adventurers. My journey as a tour guide has been one of discovery, learning, and profound connection. Whether I'm leading groups through bustling markets, on exhilarating desert escapades, or along the sweeping coastline, my goal is to facilitate genuine interactions with Qatar's multifaceted identity. What sets me apart as a guide is my insatiable appetite for storytelling. Qatar's history is a tapestry woven with threads of nomadic traditions, pearl diving, and, more recently, rapid modernization. As we explore the vibrant Souq Waqif, I'll regale you with anecdotes of the past, transporting you to the bustling market's earlier days while navigating its present-day vibrancy. One of the aspects of my job that brings me immense satisfaction is the connections I form with fellow travelers. I believe that small groups allow for meaningful interactions and personalized experiences. It's not just about sharing knowledge; it's about creating an environment where everyone feels like they're part of a journey. As we traverse Qatar's landscapes, I hope to create an environment where curiosity flourishes and cultural understanding deepens. Every step we take together is an opportunity to uncover layers of history, traditions, and aspirations that shape Qatar's narrative. So, whether you're a history enthusiast, an adventurer seeking the desert's secrets, or simply curious about Qatar's unique fusion of past and present, I'm here to guide you. Let's embark on a journey that transcends sightseeing; let's immerse ourselves in Qatar's stories and make memories that will stay with us long after the tour ends. Join me on a tour that promises not just a collection of experiences, but a profound connection to Qatar's heart and soul. I'm excited to welcome you to an exploration that will ignite your senses and broaden your horizons. Book your adventure with me today and let's uncover the magic of Qatar together!

Mubi was great! He gave us a nice overview of Doha on a beautiful, sunny day. He even customized our tour at our request to include an electric scooter ride down by the waterfront. He speaks English well, had many fun stories and just overall gave us a nice day. I would definitely recommend him to others looking to see the highlights of Doha on a port stop!

Day one with Mubashir Ali N. was exceptional. His depth of knowledge about Qatari history, culture, religion, and daily life was remarkable, and he adapted seamlessly to real-world disruptions including a city marathon, Friday prayers, and a government visit. Nothing ever felt rushed or stressful. A moment that truly stayed with us was in Souq Waqif, where he taught us Dama, a traditional local game. Sitting in the souq learning the game and its cultural meaning was a simple but deeply meaningful experience. Day two was led by Bokhalifa, Ashfaq’s cousin, who stepped in seamlessly. He guided us through the desert, dunes, and inland sea with calm confidence. The dune bashing was thrilling yet safe, the pacing perfect, and he constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the day.

excellent knowledge on all areas we touched including a more remote Unesco site- very personable and accomodating. My client loved him and I would personally highly recommend Mubashir anytime

This was my first time booking a tour with Tours By Locals. I will do it again and again. Mubi, our guide in Doah, was well trained with facts and stories. As I’ve been to many souqs, I asked if we might skip the one in Doha. Mubi said our souq is different from others and he was right! There is a section for the sale of falcons, country animal, and the accessories for the falcons. It was tremendous. Also, Mubi was a great driver. Thanks and I’m a fan.

Doha has an interesting culture, history and international composition, much of which we would have missed without a guided tour. Our guide, Mubi, was great! Very personable, knowledgeable, very conversant in English and clearly enjoys what he does. Being westerners, my wife and I really appreciated how warm, welcoming and non-judgmental he was…something I was a bit nervous about from prior experience.
