Good day trip to be done in earlier part of holiday not last - This was done on last day of our week long trip. Hence we were possibly a bit tired and not as focussed previous days. Nevertheless drive was safe thanks to Mr Agamy and Tour guide Ahmed Jackson both through Emo tours. Time management was perfect. Picked up at suitable time and agreed to drop at airport after day trip to catch our flight late night which was very helpful.
The Citadel view from top were great Museums and monuments in between were very informative.
Lunch at Sea food restaurant was very good

The tour was ok. However... - The tour was ok. However the library was closed. This was not disclosed at the time of booking the tour. The citadel was busy so we didn’t even get to drive close to it and only saw it from far. The full itinerary of the tour was not available which was disappointing.
