Super - We had a great tour with our guide Sol. Were a bit surprised because we were the only ones, but that made things more comfortable. Nice tour with lots of interesting information away from glass and concrete. Worth it!

Tour in 3 hours - Wonderful tour by a gracious and knowledgeable host. Was a very hot night and I can say the evening was just the right length. Not too short or long. A terrific introduction to the basics of UAE culture and history with important comments about neighbouring countries and their influence on the UAE. 5 stars.
