Beautiful mosque, terrible journey

Dallicath, May 2024

The mosque is undeniably spectacular and was wonderful to visit. The trip there and back was terrible, with us having to climb into a rear seat only suitable for a child, certainly not for us sexagenarians. When our driver bothered to speak we, of course, could not hear a thing. He showedg very little interest and it was simply a “drive and drop” situation.

Take a chance and book it

Carrie_R, Sep 2023

The trip was good I was under the impression my guide would stay with us to give us history and details but I may have not booked for that part. Our guide Khalid showed us how to enter then showed us where to meet him back at a certain time. But me and my friend was able to navigate around and found our way back to the meeting spot with no issues. overall the ride from the hotel and back was good and he was friendly. Would recommend for ppl who are ok with exploring
