Great tour, the best guide. We visited Al Faisal museum and had very flexible times for museum visit (as well as pick-up/drop-off). Dharma was early and communicated with us with whatsapp with impeccable English. We drove a nice, new clean car and he was a safe, responsible driver. Camel race track was also an interesting place to visit, we had a good overall idea of how everything works. Later we got a restaurant recommendation and Dharma dropped us off there, and we got also a lot of other tips based ln our desires. Recommended!
