“Our driver did not “ entertain and educate you on the ways of the Middle East.”. We stopped at an area not included in our tour, then wanting us to buy other activities. When no one wanted to do anything, we still had to wait around 20 minutes before we could leave.”

“A wonderful way to spend the evening. Lovely host. Good food & views. Concert was great..but the room was far to hot..making the concert experience uncomgortable. Shame as the musicians were exceptional.”

“We had a wonderful evening at Dubai Saraha Desert Fortress. The food was delicious and plentiful and the entertainment was excellent. One star deduction for the usual hawkers and tacky souvenir stalls, but otherwise we would highly recommend this experience as something fun and different.”

We then had to make our own way up to the fortress where we had a lovely dinner followed by the most magical concert in a candlelit room a the top ofd the fortress with world class musicians. The only reason I don't give this 5 stars is that thee is a ten minute walk from the boat up the fortress and then from the entrance of the fortress to the concert room is…”
Review of Castillo San Miguel’s Tenerife medieval dinner show, with jousting, falcons, fire performers, family tips, food notes, and value advice.
“show was great, thoroughly enjoyed it, problem was we were sent to a pick up point which didn't exist, rep had to call me to let me know where we had to meet, this was after waiting 30 minutes at a stop which was not on the coach drivers list. So my partner and I ended up running to the new pick up point in blazing heat and dressed up for the evening. The rep could not believe we were sent to the wrong point until I showed her the tickets , then she apologised. I have heard nothing from the company which organised this cock up.”
A keep, a citadel, a palace with battlements, or a day trip to reach one.
