We enjoyed the history of all the mosques, underground water storage and much more! The guide knew how to see everything efficiently and we benefited the most including best picture spots, do’s and don’t!

Guide was so knowledgeable and went at the perfect pace. She was so attentive and accommodating. This tour was fabulous to begin with but the guide made it so rememorable.

The guide was very knowledgeable and flexible. One in our family was not as mobile as the rest of us and our guide was patient and attentive to that.
