Personalised Tour!!!

Had Hala as our guide, great to have a female guide. Hala was very knowledgeable and gave every opportunity for us to ask questions. She adapted the tour as we requested and never once made us feel that we were takig up too much time. Hala gave us information on all the important things and then gave us time to explore on our own. So glad we had Hala and she is truly a member of the family and we will request her as our guide when we next visit...HALA NO:1
