Private or small group

A private tour gives your party its own vehicle and guide, starts when you like and follows your pace - the usual choice for families and groups. A small-group tour shares the guide with a few other travellers and costs less per person. Each tour page says which it is, and most group tours can be made private on request.

What is included and how it works

The tour page lists what is included - vehicle, guide, entrance tickets where stated, lunch where stated - and what is not. Hotel pickup is the norm in Queenstown. Book with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel; the desk confirms the price and the pickup time in writing.

Every booking is confirmed by a real person on our WhatsApp desk, in Arabic or English, with the price written down before anything is paid.

Each tour page says which. Private means your party alone with its own vehicle and guide; small-group shares a guide with a few others. Most group tours can be made private on request.

Is hotel pickup included?

Yes for tours in Queenstown unless the page says otherwise; the pickup time is confirmed on WhatsApp the day before.

Are entrance tickets included?

Where the tour page says so. Where they are not, the guide helps you buy them on the day, or the desk pre-books them for you.

How long does a day tour last?

Most are six to nine hours; the exact duration is on each tour page, and a private tour can be shortened or extended on request.

Can you combine two tours or add a day trip?

Yes - the desk builds a multi-day plan from the tours listed here and any transfers you need, with one written price.

Is lunch included?

Only where the tour page says so. Otherwise the guide suggests a good place - halal options are easy to find - and you pay on the spot.

Do the guides speak Arabic or English?

It depends on the day and the guide available, so we do not promise a particular language; tell the desk your preference and it does its best. The WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.

What should I bring?

Comfortable shoes, water, sun protection in summer and a light layer for mosques or evenings; the tour page notes anything specific.

How do I book a tour?

Fill in the form on the tour page or message the desk with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. Confirmation with the price and pickup time comes in writing within minutes.

Can I change or cancel a tour?

Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on how close to the day the change comes, and the desk states them before you pay.

Are the tours suitable for children?

Most are, and private tours adapt the pace to a family; child seats in the vehicle are provided on request.
