“Evening Tour during Ramadan - Our driver was the lovely Basel. He was amusing and so laidback nothing was ever too much trouble. We did this during Ramadan in April and picked the 6pm slot. Tip: during Ramadan best to pick an earlier or later slot as by 6pm everything was shutting down for Iftar but it still worked out ok.” - Reviewed on 2022-06-08
