“It has been a fantastic tour, although a bit long for a day, starting at 6:00AM till bit after midnight!

And it was a spectacular view to see the absence of such a vast water basin and the boats in the desert! At the same time so sad to observe such a massive environmental disaster! I totally recommend even to spend mote time…day or two maybe, spend a night with a local family and learn more about…”
