    Our experience was amazing and one of the best part about Al Wadi are the staff. We were taken care of amazingly by the team there! We also went on an animal feeding experience and our guide Sahil made it so much more than that - he went over...

    The staff is great - friendly, helpful and responsive; the villa is well equipped, you can find everything you may need during your stay. This is a very good place for spending a couple of days to change the 'beach scene'.
