Hiking with very beautyful view - The trip was very nice. The driver and the guides (in car and on the mountain) were very friendly and funny. The nature is incredible beautiful! I can recommend this trip! Remark: You have the possibility to rent a camel if the physical condition is not good enough.

Challenging but impressive at the same time - It was a very difficult activity independent of the tour. I climbed it for the first time and it was challenging for me, but I recommend you to see that view. Our tour guide was attentive. Even though we were left behind, he checked in frequently and was helpful. We, two sisters, went and had our concerns at first, but we realized that it was unfounded. There were 2 problems: I think breakfast was included, but they gave wafers and mango juice as breakfast. I think it would be better if they gave a small sandwich instead of wafers. We were also told that the earlier we got off, the sooner we would return to our hotel. We got off almost without resting, but since we had to go in a convoy and return, we waited about an hour for other tours. This was independent of those who arranged the tour, but I think a solution should be provided. Note: You don't feel the cold that much while climbing, but the hill is quite cold anyway. At the last stop and at the top, they rent a blanket for 3 €. I didn't want to use something that everyone else used, but the person sitting next to me smelled very bad, so I was glad I didn't buy it. If I had known it would be this cold, I would have brought my polar TV blanket with me or you could ask for it at the hotel, I'm sure it would be cleaner. Also, be sure to keep Egyptian Pounds with you as it makes more sense to buy things at the stops. Finally, if you want to visit the church, do not choose Fridays and Saturdays, it is closed on weekends.

Be prepare before you go! - It was a complete adventure for me. It should be important to tell the people that would take this tour the preparation needed, which means, bring your food, water, warm clothes or sheets to cover yourself on the top of the mountain and cash because everything should be paid with cash.
