5.00We felt totally safe in Karel’s capable and caring hands. His knowledge of the area and Arabic countries in general is really impressive. The hike is manageable for inexperienced but fit middle aged people too.
Excellent hiking tour

5.00Excellent hiking trip. Perfectly organized by Karel, a really knowledgeable and fun guide. Parts of the hike were challenging for this 67 year old with an artificial hip, but exhilarating and worth the effort. You will NOT be disappointed! A truly memorable day, thank you Karel/Takamul.
