oct. 2024 • En solo From the moment I landed until moment I left I was taken care of. As a single woman traveling I was never afraid. The vehicle was perfect for all the destinations. The guide and hotels were perfect. The meals were amazing. The information and places we visited were well planned and easily accessed at times where it seemed less crowded. Very good tour from one night in desert to hotel by the sea. Diverse array of experience. Indepth knowledge from guide Nasir. Wassim was right on time with pickup and treated me to dinner.
