Welcome to Qatar — a fascinating destination where timeless Arabian heritage meets world-class modern luxury, dramatic desert landscapes, and genuine hospitality. My name is Siham, and for more than 18 years, I have had the privilege of introducing travelers from around the world to the beauty, culture, and hidden treasures of Qatar. Since 2008, I have worked as a licensed English-speaking tour guide, specializing in private, personalized, and high-quality experiences throughout Doha and across the country. Guiding is not simply my profession — it is my passion. Over the years, I have personally explored every corner of Qatar to create experiences that go beyond standard sightseeing. My tours combine local insight, cultural storytelling, comfort, flexibility, and authentic experiences that allow visitors to truly connect with the country and its people. I have been honored to conduct Familiarization (FAM) Tours for international journalists, travel professionals, and tour operators invited by Qatar National Tourism Council. My work has also brought me together with internationally recognized photographers and media professionals associated with publications such as National Geographic and Bloomberg. Despite its compact size, Qatar offers remarkable diversity. Within a short drive from Doha, you can experience towering sand dunes, the breathtaking Inland Sea, traditional marketplaces, historic forts, UNESCO World Heritage site, peaceful mangrove forests, camel racing tracks, fishing villages, modern architecture, museums, and vibrant cultural districts. Whether you are: -visiting Qatar during a layover or cruise stop, -traveling with family, -seeking a luxury private experience, -interested in history and culture, -looking for photography opportunities, -or searching for authentic local experiences, I will design an itinerary that perfectly matches your interests, pace, and schedule. Every tour I offer is fully customizable. I believe no two travelers are the same, and your experience in Qatar should feel personal, comfortable, and memorable. If you do not see the exact tour you are looking for, simply send me a message with your ideas, travel dates, and group size, and I will gladly create a tailor-made experience just for you. Transportation is arranged using comfortable air-conditioned vehicles according to group size, including SUVs, vans, minibuses, and coaches for groups of up to 45 guests. For desert excursions and premium private tours, we travel in a comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser, ideal for both city exploration and desert adventures. What I value most as a guide is the opportunity to meet wonderful people from different cultures and create experiences that guests remember long after their journey ends. Many of my guests return to Qatar again or stay in touch over the years — something I consider the greatest reward of my work. If you are looking for more than just a tour — and instead want a local guide who genuinely cares about your experience, comfort, and memories — I would be delighted to welcome you to Qatar and share this beautiful country with you. My qualifications: -Diploma in Travel and Tourism -Certified Tour Guide by Qatar National Tourism Council -Certified Safari Guide by Qatar National Tourism Council -Qatar National Tourism Council Cruise Ship Guiding Certified -Certified First Aid Provider – Qatar Red Crescent

Overview of your Doha tour

The landscape of the Zekreet peninsula has a unique and fascinating geology. Salt flats, plateau rocks, and open desert dominate this scenery. There are no dunes here but bizarre rock formations and great views over the gulf's blue waters. Apart from the landscape, there are many other amazing sites to visit in the peninsula.

Siham took us on an amazing tour to the desert and the Richard Serra exhibit. From the start, Siham was a wonderful guide, providing very easy, simple communication and picking us up promptly in a very comfortable car. We went to the desert and he filled us in with a lot of interesting knowledge sharing about the history of Qatar and all the latest developments in the area before taking us to beautiful desert landmarks (where he also served as a good samaritan to a vehicle stuck in the sand), including the Richard Serra exhibit. Throughout the tour, Siham let us explore as much as we want while providing guidance and knowledge. At the end of night, he even made a reservation for us at Parisa for the best meal we had in our entire stay. Siham is hands down the best guide we've ever had and would love to do more tours with him.

Wow! Silham was actually the best guide we have ever had from TBL. He was thoroughly entertaining, informative to a degree we have never experienced and totally professional as he guided us thru Zekreet Peninsula. He is truly a fantastic Guide and human being. Kudos to him!!! TBL you are lucky to have him

Had a 2-day stopover last week in Doha & booked the Zekreet tour with Silham. What a treat. He was not only very knowledgeable about the salt flats, topography and the desert in general, but he was such an easy person to chat with. It was just the two of us in the car for 4.5 hours, and the time just flew by. 2.5 hours or so were off-road; but that only added to the enjoyment of the experience. Richard Serra art exhibit in the middle of the desert was breathtaking. Highly recommended tour!

Your Doha tour itinerary

• The journey will begin from Qatar's east coast ( Doha) to the west coast, passing by some important and interesting sites such as Qatar foundation education city, a camel race track, and a vast open desert. After around 45 minutes of driving, you will be on-site like planet mars ( I don't know why I choose Mars, but that's how it looks like). • Zekreet village and fort are the first sites to visit remnants of a small 18th-century fort by the beach. Drive deep in the desert to the sculpture. • Richard Serra's permanent installation in Zekreet, East-West/West-East, has become a famous landmark in Qatar. the installation comprises four towering steel sculptures in the middle of the desert. After taking some pictures, time to see whats this place is hiding.
