Excellent tour leader. Great tour to introduce us to Oman, its culture and wonderful sites. Would have been more comfortable in a bigger bus. This along with the hotel to airport transfer failing to turn-up loses a star on my rating.

I was glad to get an impression of Saudi Arabia which seemed more relaxed than I expected and women better treated than what we used to hear in the western media. There are long distances between places visited but it is worth it. Hegra was a highlight though not up to the standard of Petra. The nearby art exhibits in the desert and mirror covered auditorium were also highlights. Apart from Hegra, historical sites were heavily reconstructed (inevitable for mud bricks) so no romantic ruins. Visiting permitted religious sites was interesting, especially Medina. Our guide was excellent though, unusually for Explore, not a native Saudi (the pay isn't high enough for them!?!)
