There was a delay in receiving information regarding the ticket.When I did get confirmation the bus that I had booked had been changed to a later one.This was a bit confusing and not all details came through straight away. The ticket was in Arabic script so I had to get my hotel to conform all the details.

3 hour trip took 4.5 hours. Bus stopped at the first pick up point after 45 minutes. It took 50 minutes to get going again. Driver was smoking all the way on the mobile phone. It's scary and dangerous.

Your company asks me to to come 15.minutes before departure. Your driver comes 15 minutes late. Telling me all kind of excuses and lies. I wander if your driver is like this, maybe your company has the same qualities.
