The guide, lunch and all entrance fees are arranged, so the day holds together without you building it.

An English-speaking local guide leads the group and commentary can be customized within the tour schedule.Is it for me?The guide speaks English and Arabic, so if you're comfortable following commentary in English, a small group keeps the pace unhurried and gives you more time to linger at each stop than a large bus tour allows.
