    Sehr schöne Tour um zu wissen, was man sich nochmal näher anschauen möchte. Man wird allerdings Teilnehmer von Verkaufsveranstaltungen für Edelmetallschmuck und -steine als auch für Gewürze. Das ist nicht unangenehm, sondern eher amüsant und man sollte vorher ganz genau die Preise kennen und wissen was man haben möchte :-).

    It took a long time before the tour really started, the guide was very informative but we did not expect to be taken into local shops with staff trying to sell you goods, the gold souk was very informative your face with sellers at you all the time. We expected the visit to the Jewellery store would be a demonstration as to how Jewellery is made not trying to sell you some

    We spent half of the time on the coach picking guests up, we live in the hotel close to the old town, but we are the first one to get to picked up, then drove all the way to palm, we are not keen to see the palm in the tour. Then drive and stop, drive and stop, each stop is very quick, the old town itself only had half an hour or so. I had no time to look around properly. And the the explaination of the places are basic as well, nothing in depth, quite disappointed.

    Only two of us on the tour. Driver/guide was very attentive and we saw all we wanted to see. Shame with the adjusted itinerary we did not get to go on the water taxi over the creek. Great service, highly recommended
