Javeed our driver was OUTSTANDING!!

We traveled from the Marina area which allowed for our driver to give history of the city sites and culture during the drive. We were in a 4x4 SUV. Javeed our driver has many years giving this tour and made the trip informative and exciting. Dune driving and sand surfing.... then onto learning the history of this beautiful place. A lunch meal was provided on the return trip. 5 STARS all the WAY!!!
