We were late for the tour due to plane delay but the driver was nice enough to wait for us at the hotel and whisked us away as soon as we arrived to join the rest of the tour group. Tour guide (I forgot her name) was very informative and loved her way of explaining the history of the places. Highly recommended!

The time we spent at the actual tour sites was very nice but we had no time after to browse or take many pictures. Tour guide was very nice and entertaining on the bus. Once we reached the places we visited, we went in, out and go go go. I wanted a picture with the camel, I wanted time to shop for a trinket and it just wasn't happening. We were pushed out so fast! Instead we spent far too much time in a leather jacket store that we didn't ask to go to watching a fashion show which was extremely uncomfortable as well as a jewelry shop with presentation. I was very disappointed to spend a tour I spent money on for promotions and others on our tour felt the same.
