I must say at first I was a bit worried a stage tour lasts all day, but as the day went by and the more things we were experiencing I changed my opinion. one of the best experiences I have ever had. alladin was so knowledgeable, so thoughtful of us and helpful. he has been an absolute honour to be part of this tour.

Overall, the journey wasn't too long, divided between stops and changes. the only flaw was that we were unable to see the museum due to a misunderstanding with the guide. Although I don't know Russian, I noticed the difference in the explanations of the Russian guide compared to the English one.

It’s an early start and a long day but when you see what you see it us well worth it there is aircon all the way on busses and boat and there are stops for brakes along the way. Do carry plenty of water for when u get to Petra as it can be quiet hot.

The long trip from Sharm was expected. Petra was well worth the wait. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly along with the organisers along the way. Had a great time.

Thanks again for all the arrangements The tour was exceptionally well executed Please Keep up the good work
