just a warning about the men w/ the flowers inside the immigration area - they rush up to you and hand you a flower. they were standing right up by the immigration desk. i thought it was some kind of local welcome - well it wasn't and the guy wanted money. i had to argue with him to return the flower instead of paying for it. it was not a good way to start.

the camels are on the dock and you get to them before you enter the immigration area.

also, on our tour we were taken to a "museum" that was really a rug store and were hassled quite a bit to buy one. not pleasant.

We rode the camels at the port also and it was the highlight of our cruise. we had a wonderful time. The picture of us each on a camel is hanging on my wall! it was great.

they also scooped me up and plunked me on the camel and then helped me off - no problem at all.

i did not have euros so they took a $20 instead of the 10eu price. no problem. it was well worth the price!
