driven a lot to see little - Unfriendly driver, the driver didn't speak to us. He drove an hour into the desert to a camp for camel riding that we hadn't booked. Then came a new driver, who also did not introduce himself, without big information where we are going. Driver had no local knowledge and was constantly on the phone while driving. We had to organize tickets for the mosque ourselves. Overall, the driver was unfriendly, disorganized and constantly stressed us. Which is why we decided to stop the trip early and drive back to the hotel independently. The car had no intact seat belts.

0/10 horrible experience - Horrible experience. I don’t recommend them to anyone. The guide picked us up from the hotel and then we drove 40 minutes to salt lake. When we got there, they were CLOSED! No one bothered to tell us, and apparently the guide was also clueless. We went around and we were able to at least see the salt lake. After that, he took us to the fossil dunes which were also CLOSED, and AGAIN no one bothered to inform us beforehand. There, we couldn’t see anything. Then, he took us to the Mosque where I thought he would at least walk with us inside and do a proper tour. Nothing. He left us there and waited in the car. Overall, terrible experience. The places are great, but choose wisely who will take you there. This agency is not worth it. I tried asking for a refund but obviously they declined. So you can see that they can’t even admit to their mistakes
