Visiting all the villages, getting lots of info from the guide, travelling through the dessert, seeing the mirage, experiencing the lemon sharks swim between our legs, floating in the salt pools at the mine. Every event was amazing, we would do it again in a heart beat. Very good value for money. Lunch not included but the restaurant we stopped at for lunch was very reasonably priced and very good quality food and venue. Thank you so much for the experience!!”
