THIS WAS A FANTASTIC ADVENTURE

THIS WAS A FANTASTIC ADVENTURE Reem, Badar & Ahmed, Thank you so very much. This was a fantastic adventure. As you'd expect, the scenery was fabulous, but the experience was further enhanced by our exceptional guides, who were perfect in enthusiasm, knowledge, and ability. Their enthusiasm was evident as he continued to add to our group’s running list of “must-see” flora and fauna. The entire trip was very informative and exciting. All the sites were good, especially the coast, the central desert, and the Empty Quarter. I loved the hikes, wildlife tracking, and the snorkeling around the remote islands. Service: Excellent Guides: 10/10 The quality of the guides and trackers is excellent Accommodation: Excellent & well-planned. Meals: Delicious; I loved the local meals & the picnics. Flights: Very good. Transportation: Excellent. Very roomy and comfortable. Best wishes Leland W. Robinson

MY FAMILY AND I HAD A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE

Hi Fatima, Thanks to all of your team. My family and I had a fantastic experience with your fabulous team (Ream, Badar & Khalid). Khalid was enthusiastic the moment we first met and throughout the entire trip. This small group tour was AMAZING!! It was an expensive trip but the wildlife sightings were fantastic. My target species were Arabian Oryx and Red fox and we ticked both of those boxes. From our arrival to the end of the trip we were so well looked after, it would be difficult to find a fault. I know we were exceptionally lucky but even if we hadn’t seen all this fantastic wildlife, the scenery and landscape are stunning! We wish that the Botanic Garden was completed. Service: Very good Itinerary: Well-designed Guides: Excellent Accommodation: Meals: Delicious Flights: Well-panned. Transportation: Excellent. Very comfortable and thoughtful of the equipment & space Thank you so much Reem, Khalid & Badar, we will forever treasure this wonderful trip. Janet Huelster & Family 🙂
