The tour was perfect and so was the tour guide Karam- explained everything you asked and was friendly. Only thing that ruined our trip was the China family, the father decided to vomit in the car even though he had a chance to do it inside the bag. Later they complained about the tour guide that why he didn't stop the car but they never asked him to do so. They should have been thrown out of the tour beacuse of their attitude but as i noticed it wasn't up to the tour guide.

The travel from Dubai was very good and convenient, the guide was very helpful all the time. Only thing I would suggest that the trip cost should include the audio tour at the mosque as well.

Our guide Ahmed was superb. He guided us about the tourist attractions, have shared useful knowledge and facts regarding different attractions, histry of UAE and 7 emirates, etc. He was quite calm and patient and friendly. He was also answering all our specific queries regarding dates, pearl and many other things. It was amazing. Only thing I didn't like is that I didn't receive call well ahead only an email around 6 pm on previous day about pick up time which was 1 hour prior to menioned time on the scheduled day.
