For this fee, I expected a knowledgeable guide...turned out to be a driver service with no guidance provided at the destination...the guide just purchased an entry pass and sent me in with no explanation (while he sat in the car).

An interesting and intensive day. Very interesting scenery in Al Ahsa. Good service-minded driver/guide with careful driving (by saudi standards....)

So, the al qara caves were beautiful. Well worth a visit. This tour however is not worth paying for if you are a solo traveller. I effectively paid for a very expensive taxi service. The taxi driver Adnan was a very sweet Pakistani guy who was very friendly, kind and I felt very safe with him. But I didn’t have a tour guide. I went around the caves by myself. For USD560 as a solo traveller I would recommend getting a taxi.
