    We had a very nice tour through Saudi Arabia. Everything was very well arranged. The guide Rahim was very good and very helpful. All local guides were also very good. The accommodations were good value for money. The group was very good and not too big. It is definitely recommended.

    We had a wonderful trip. The trip was very well organized. Very good guide Rahim and also the local guides were good. Hotels were good, the hotel in Medina was very basic and the least of quality. The trip between Medina and Jeddah might be more comfortable by haramain speed train than by bus.

    Dubai is beautiful! The tours were good but too many photo stops. The art galleries were unnecessary. The boat cruise took too long to begin and food was served too late. However, once we started, cruising it was beautiful. Everything else was awesome!.
