15 minutes on the camel 2 and 1/2 hours in a van - Well half a day is a misinterpretation. Half of the day on Excursion was spent in the minivan going to and from the location. The people were terrific the lunch was decent the tequila tasting was okay but the camel ride was a whole 15 minutes and it was an extreme disappointment. So if somebody thinks they're getting a half day Excursion they did a plan in the travel time as the majority of that time.

People were great the tour was not - The tour itself was quite disappointing. One of the things that I commend them for is apparently they rescue endangered camels from places like circuses . They take care of the older camels that are no longer in service and the camels work one day out of three and the rest of the time they have to rest and apparently have some areas where they can go to just kind of be camels. The guides were great, however the half-day tour included about 2 hours in a van getting to the site and back. The time on the camels was approximately 15 maybe 20 minutes at the most went about an eighth of a mile on the beach and did a u-turn and came back to get off the camels. To say there was nothing Scenic about it is putting it mildly. One of the better points of the day was the walkthrough a description of the Flora on the beach area. The guide was very knowledgeable about the plants and willing to ask questions. For the money I would not recommend this because it is billed as a half day camel Safari tour. It is not. My hotel was the first to be picked up at approximately 8:00 in the morning I got back to my hotel at 2:30 which technically is a half a day. They will not allow you to take your own pictures or use your cell phone for the tour guide to take your picture. Because I'm alone I did end up buying two of their very overpriced photos at $80. I seriously hope that other people thinking about taking this tour will check out this review. The only reason I gave it three stars is because for no extra charge they were going to pick me up at my hotel it was quite a way up the coast going towards totus Center and back. The drivers were great and as I said people involved with the tour were terrific. The other thing is that they insisted that you wear these silly kaftan type covers on the helmets which made me feel kind of like a fool. You can see them in the pictures I suggested that I not have to wear one and they said no it was required. I think I've said enough again the people were great however on the whole, the tour was a rip off.
