    Ces sites archéologiques étaient incroyables et vides en cette période de basse-saison touristique, nous nous sommes sentis privilégiés. Nous avons eu un guide exceptionnel, Moheb, qui en plus d'être très compétent, était une personne chaleureuse, qui a rendue l'excursion inoubliable, merci à lui !

    Netter erfahrener Guide, gute sichere Fahrer. Vielleicht ein besseres Lokal zum Essen, Hygiene war nicht so gut in unserem Lokal.
