DOHA: Doha Bus, Qatar’s first Hop-on, Hop-off open-top sightseeing bus tour, has launched a night tour service where residents and tourists can see the city’s iconic landmarks and impressive skyline in the evening.
Lasting 90 minutes, the ‘once round’ tour starts from Souq Waqif at 7.30pm and continues to the Corniche to West Bay, providing guests with the opportunity to see the beauty of Doha at night. The tour includes an informative audio commentary in seven languages, including Arabic, English, Korean, Brazilian, Japanese, Chinese and German on the city’s highlights and history.
A complimentary cup of hot karak, one of Qatar’s signature drinks, is served to guests.
“Doha Bus is pleased to have added the night tour to its growing list of local offerings and this is a unique way to see the city. By starting at Souq Waqif and exploring key destinations along the Corniche and around Doha, visitors are able to see our city’s wonderful diversity,” said Khalid Alsuwaidi, CEO, Doha Bus.
Night tour ticket costs QR45 (child), QR95 (adult) and QR235 (family) and is valid for 24 hours.
In addition to the existing daytime city tours and night tour, Doha Bus has introduced a Qatar Foundation (QF) route that takes passengers through the ultra-modern and urban landscape of Education City, covering sites, including Al Shaqab Equestrian Centre and Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art. With these new additions to the QF route, the tour is constantly expanding with over 22 stops.
Doha Bus Services will further expand with the soon-to-launch Sealine Beach Resort shuttle with paired weekend packages and Monster Truck bus trips into the sand dunes and speedboat sight-seeing trips from Museum of Islamic Art. Doha Bus also provides school, corporate and group tours at very competitive prices.
