“I was very disappointed in this tour. It was advertised as 4-5 hour city tour, and ended up being a 3.5 hour tour. My tour guide was not knowledgeable, and was silent for most of the time. I had to constantly ask questions to get some information out of him. The experienced was rushed. When we were outside a few times, the guide would walk briskly in front of me as if I was not with him. We were supposed to do a tour of the old market, and that literally was about 5-10 min max, as he rushed through it. I paid over $200 for this tour and I…”

Then we took a small lunch, we invited Rajid, before we went to the desert. The desert part will stay in my mind forever. He drove with us through the dünes, we made a short stop to ride a camel and watch falcons before we went to the beach. On the way one of us 3 has done sand boarding with the board Sajid brought for us. Also very nice was the driver with dune buggies…”
