I like the mushroom desert and Richard Serra art installation. Mohammad Khan is patient and helpful.

A fantastic morning! I had done a similar tour in November, 2024, but our tour guide today, Javid, provided an even better experience than I had before. He was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful, allowing us to get out and walk the full length of the Serra sculpture, taking our time to fully appreciate its magnitude and scope. Furthermore, he took us on a route that enhanced the work’s context within the landscape. He also took lots of fun pictures for us we never could have had without him. Do not miss this!
