5.00Great driver and trip/experiences with Jamal. He was not a driver, but hands on concierge, tour guide and everything! He was lovely suggesting things to do that he thought we’d enjoy, at no cost/commission like some drivers, picking us up and dropping us whenever we needed him. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best seats in the desert, the perfect spots for sunsets, the best off the beaten track sights and such more
Great ride

5.00Jamal was excellent. We went on a Monday so also went to Berber market. Plus village and women’s Co-operative. We had lunch by the river and then trekked up to the waterfall. It was our best day of the holiday. Jamal was so friendly and helpful. He also took us to the Medina and did our airport transfers.
