★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 153 reviews · from $69Our pick

“The mushroom rocks. The vehicle and driver were excellent. The camel racing track is interesting but no camels to see. Desert formations, (yardangs) very impressive, especially the eye rock. The man-made sculptures are surreal, like "2001, A Space Oddyssea"”

Travel from Doha to Zekreet and the Brouq Reserve with an English-speaking guide, visiting old fort ruins, desert rock formations, and Richard Serra’s East-West / West-East sculpture. Guide Sadiq has also added a camel-racing stop when conditions allowed.

“We took the morning tour out to see the limestone formations in Zekreet and the amazing Richard Serra steel sculptures. Our guide Sadiq went above and beyond and showed us the racing camel tracks on the way which was not on the tour. It’s the end of the season and not a lot of people get to watch these amazing animals. A great morning out.”
