How we collect these prices

Each price is the lowest price the operator published for that option, in AED, when we last checked it. Prices per person, per vehicle and per group are kept apart: a median across different units would mislead. The median is the middle price: half of the tours cost that or less. Prices change with dates and demand; the price you pay is the one on the partner’s site.
