The hotel is really lovely and the tour guide Risa is looking after us very well. You have done a superb job! Thank you so much!

“ Jordan & Qatar trip ”

We strongly recommend the Doha stopover and the guide we were given. Everywhere he took us was well organized and most interesting. He can tailor the time to suit the client. As for Jordan, one trip for a week is not enough. So much to see. We believe you should request Alaah for tour guide if possible.
