Amazing tour in ancient ocean bottom, wadi Hitan - Hotel reception arranged the trip to wadi hitan with four wheel car and professional driver. The rout took 1 hour drive with nice views of Rocky Mountains and sandy desert. The museum at the location shows the history of the whales lived in the place when it was covered with water. The displayed whale skeletons shows how big they were. As well lot of fossils are displayed in the open air museum. It is all amazing.
