    Прекрасный тур! Оазис и долина китов оставили незабываемые впечатления. Наш гид объяснил всё очень подробно и интересно. Единственное - немного устали от дороги, но это того стоило.

    Très belle excursion! Découvrir le site de Wadi Al Hitan en 4x4 était une expérience unique. L'histoire géologique du site est fascinante et notre guide a partagé de nombreuses informations intéressantes. Un petit bémol sur le trajet qui était un peu long, mais cela en valait la peine.
