    Unser Guide war super, die Tour war sehr individuell. Was uns genervt hat, war, dass am Spice Souk ein ausgewähltes Geschäft ausgesucht wurde, dort kannten sich alle und man fühlt sich fast genötigt, was zu kaufen. Die Preise dort sind eine ziemliche Abzocke-unbedingt handeln! Ansonsten wars wirklich toll!
