An evening of relaxation about the Dhow
Highly recommend this as an evening relaxation tour. We opted for hotel pick up which was efficient and professional. The Dhow boat was a great way to see the city skyline at night and Imran our guide was attentive and helpful to everyone on board. He pointed out the many sights along the way and ensured our trip was memorable by his thoughtful offer of taking photo's with the beautiful city skyline. Food was plentiful and delicious! Thank you Imran!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Doha.
How much does Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Doha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Doha is not rushed.
Is Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Doha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Doha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Doha and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Doha: Moonlight Dinner Dhow Cruise Tour with Transfers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Doha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Doha?
+
On Outty we rank every Doha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Doha : Half Day Desert Safari With SandBoarding and Camel Ride, Half Day Desert Safari || Sand Boarding || Camel Ride || Inland Sea Visit ||, Doha: Desert Safari | Camel ride | Sand-boarding | Quad Biking. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Doha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Doha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
