Super journée, visites très intéressantes, excellent rapport qualité prix. Tout s’est très bien déroulé. En plus d’avoir visiter de beaux endroits et admirer de beaux paysages, nous avions un excellent guide Farman Ali, très gentil, très souriant, très bienveillant. Je recommande vivement, thanks Gray Line

Wir hatten den Wagen nur für uns und unser Guide war sehr aufmerksam und hat uns ausführlich über die Geschichte und das Leben des Landes erzählt.

Great and varied insight. Lots of information from the voice guide (several languages including German). On time with a good driver / guide.

It was very interesting and very varied. You can see a lot in a short time. The oasis was the only one not that interesting.

The tour is well worth seeing, all points were approached, enough time for everything, I can recommend it
