The universities were another place I wish we could have stayed for, after getting to know the students and talking with them it would have been really great to have lunch or have them show us around the city from their point of view.
The bus accommodations were excellent. It became our place of sanctuary after a long day of walking and being in the heat, we took refuge in the air conditioned bus to take us back to the hotels. Which leads me to the next point of how fabulous the hotels were :
I was unsure of what to expect because I have travelled a lot and my mom has as well and we realize that not all "five stars" resorts are measured on the same scale but we had no complaints about any of the hotels.
They were beautiful, roomy, comfortable and much more than we expected to stay in. The buffets were wonderful and there were lots of choices to eat which was really great for me because I have several food allergies and I can be limited in what I am able to eat so having a lot of options was great for me.
Mr. Mohammad and Dr. Abeer made sure there was always snacks or lunches to bring with us on the bus so we would not get hungry and there was always MORE than plenty of bottled water for everyone to drink on the bus as well as take back to the room to brush our teeth with and everything.

Our security team was excellent as well. We were always surrounded by (armed) police officers either on the bus or following the bus when we travelled between cities. Some of them were friendlier than others but it was really nice to know that we were always being protected.
