Abdul is an excellent tour guide and shares a lot of interesting information about the area throughout the day. He timed the entire day such that we did not overlap with any other tour group ... which was amazing and made it feel as if we had the places to ourselves. The 4-hour drive each way was part of the experience ... really scenic and we took two different routes. Never felt rushed at all yet packed in so much in just the day trip. Lunch place he recommended (included in tour) had great food ... would recommend the kefta! Also got to stop by a co-op that makes certified honey, argan oil and peanut/almond butter. Left at 7:30 and returned around 6:30. Everything for the day was included, except the souvenirs, morning tea and tip. Highly recommend arranging a private tour with Abdul - allows you to miss the crowds and experience everything at your own pace!
