Amazing - Maher was the best! I felt very comfortable with him. He was on time and concerned about my desire to see the city. He explained where we were going before hand and during the visit. Most of all, he didn’t know that I have motion sickness. When it it, I had to lay back, use my meds and stay calm! He was so understanding, allowed me the time needed for it to pass, and made me feel safe: I will use, only him, when I send people to Bahrain or return again. Number one in my book!!

Excellent Experience with Maher - Maher was an excellent guide. I communicated with him for a private tour via WhatsApp, where he can be reached at +973 3988 4063. We came up with an itinerary, then he offered to include me on a group Half Day Desert Tour after a few people requested him for the same day. This worked perfectly for me. His communication, both with planning and on the tour, was excellent. He was on time with the hotel pickup, pointed out sights along the way, and even brought drinks and snacks. He has extensive knowledge about Bahrain and was always willing to answer questions. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Maher and I highly recommend him to others looking for a good overview of Bahrain.

Highly reccomend! - Absolutely the best experience in Bahrain. Everything went great from the moment i booked the tour, as they contacted me right away and informed me all the following steps. The communication and attitude was great. And i want to mention, Alya, our tour guide, she made our day and basically made this tour awesome. The tour was informative and we spent enough time at each site. I would definitely recommend them and if i ever come back to Bahrain, i will contact them to arrange more tours!

My third private tour with Mr. Maher and he is outstanding! - Mr. Maher, as always, was extremely knowledgeable about the Bahraini customs, culture, and traditions during our half-day tour. We went to places I’ve never been before, including visits to: *Dhow building site, *A-Ali Pottery, *camel farm, *Bedouin *live falcons, *F1 Racetrack, *Pearl walking trail and fort, *Muharraq Souk. He also took us to one of his favorite restaurants in the Manama Souk, where we enjoyed local cuisine. This is my third tour with Mr. Maher: *Saudi Arabia day trip, *Qatar weekend trip, and this half-day Bahrain tour. I hope to travel with him again…perhaps a weekend Girl’s trip to Kuwait! 5/5 stars and highly recommended

Half Day Desert Tour Bahrain - The tour was very interesting, Maher was very nice and he gave a lot of information and was also happy to answer any of our questions. We also saw a bit of the F1 circuit, it was amazing! The tour was very rich with lot of stops in different parts of the country. A little bit overpriced but other than that everything was great.
