The last day in Aqaba could be better spent, perhaps at the Dead Sea or in Amman. Or just leave people to make their own arrangements. We were taken to a diving centre in Aqaba which was extremely touristy, tacky and seedy. The beach was rocky, with tankers in the distance, and there was loud Arabic pop music blasting out of massive loudspeakers - not very appealing! It even made lying by the side of the pool not a pleasant experience. And we were stranded there for several hours, before being picked up to go back to Madaba!! This was the only negative experience of the trip. How would you rate the difficulty of this ride out of 10 where 1 is very easy and 10 is very advanced? 8 Please explain why you scored it as you did The horses were extremely spirited, strong and fast. It was a thrilling experience. Would you recommend Unicorn Trails to your friends?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Please give more details to explain your response May we use you as a reference for other people wishing to go on this ride?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Any other comments Unicorn comments
