What Can You Expect? 

Be amazed as the hot weather quickly turns into a breezy day and ends up being a cold night while you explore this glamorous city. The old part of the town will transform you into the sets of Aladdin with its medievalism. The cobbled streets, brick walls, sheesha joints, and souvenir shops are as enchanting as one can dream of. The modern part of the city is a completely different story altogether. The buildings are taller with unique designs, the shops are more luxurious and futurism is seeped into everything.
