Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either.
Dubai & Abu Dhabi done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Worth every rupee.
Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled.

Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Solid operator.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.
Yes, a UAE tourist visa, which the operator can process but which is not in the price. Holders of a valid US, UK or Schengen visa are eligible for visa on arrival — check your own eligibility, the rules change.
