5.00An excellent day out. Highly enjoyable. The guide spoke good English and was friendly and welcoming. The Mogao Caves are well worth seeing - went round with a guide who worked on the site. Lots of information about the style of art and statues inside the caves. The afternoon was great - completely different. Had a camel ride up the dunes and a walk around the lake. A well planned day which allowed for some flexibility. Lunch was provided and was tasty and plentiful. Definitely recommend. 👍
