    I had a very enjoyable, unforgettable holiday.

    The hotels were very good, with no problems transferring to and from the airport. Our guide, Adnan, was the best ever. Excursions were well planned but involved a lot of walking. After this trip, you will have a better understanding of Middle Eastern politics and history.
