it was a very good experience with our guide abood we had a short tour to the North side it was amazing specially the zubara fort
Leider nicht gut. Der Fahrer fuhr zu schnell - es gab fast einen Unfall; er war nicht sehr motiviert. Es gab keinen Tee - wie beschrieben und es wurde uns auch nicht im Vorfeld gesagt, dass man aktuell nicht Kayak fahren kann auf der Purple Island.
