Books author - "Jutta Hartmann-Metzger"
With the Arab countries of Egypt, Morocco and the OMAN we were able to gain very different experiences regarding the behavior towards foreign tourists. In Egypt, we noticed the great need for security, as evidenced by the armed police convoy escorting us through the desert to Luxor. The Moroccans were extremely hostile. While in the OMAN a great tolerance and friendliness was felt.
Of all the long-distance trips we have taken together, the 14-day trip to Rajasthan was most impressive. We covered about 2500 km back with a rickety bus and were taken to numerous attractions. Highlights were the comfortable nights in magnificent maharaja palaces and in first class hotels. We were able to get over the efforts of the day quickly. Our tour started in New Delhi and - after visiting the magnificent Taj Mahal - we came back there again.
