Fantastic tour - Omar was an excellent guide. He tailored our tour based on what we wanted to see and get out of the tour. We were able to ride camels, look at historical sites, learn more about the culture, see how the wealthy and and regular people live their lives, etc. It was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend it!
