I really enjoyed this tour - the sites are incredible! Unfortunately the balloon ride was cancelled due to bad weather, so I was offered a sunrise boat ride (with breakfast!) and camel ride instead. Arwa was so helpful organising everything and answering any questions and concerns I had. 5⭐️

Everything was excellent. Our balloon ride was cancelled but that was due to weather. The lunch and tours to the temples were verry educational. Tour guide and driver were very helpful, well spoken, polite and the tour guide was very knowledgeable of the temples.
