Very good experience with guide Zeeshan

Well organised

It was a great organised trip. Four independent tourists were picked up from the Marina location and transferred to the impressive viewpoints. There was enough time to enjoy and take photos. My friend was picked up downtown, and the driver got in touch and managed our stops at a convenient time for us to meet and have lunch together. Great experience. The driver also helps with the traditional dress for visiting the Mosque. I recommend.
