First off, the Excursion begins at 8am, but the driver said pick up time was at 630am. Since the location was 5 minutes from our hotel, I’m not positive why we were required to leave so early, which means we had to be up to check out of the hotel even earlier. Our tour ended up beginning before 7am. Our driver took us to his house during the ride to meet his family, which was odd. Half way through, we asked him if we could stick to streets because the sand roads he was taking us had a plethora of potholes and it was becoming difficult to ride on our bodies. In addition, I think the driver forgot we aren’t experts like him because he kept telling us it’s fine. Your description of the tour doesn’t mention that by countryside tour you really mean we will be going through dirt for 4 hours. We came back looking orange and brown from all the dirt that we got on ourselves. Since the tour began at 7 and not 8, we didn’t need to check out of the hotel and would have been able to shower the dirt off, but no, we were told we would be back after check out time. Lastly, your description also stated we would be given water, but we never got any. Each time we stopped for “break”, he said to buy water from a local road side stand.
