Summary: The tour was great and very interesting. The day before I tried to do it on I own and I missed a lot of places as it's not very well indicated. I would recommend taking the tour, this way you also get more additional information. Khaled was great, very charismatic and funny. The places he took us too were beautiful and each one had a very interesting history. The group was great, and I had a lot of fun and a fruitful experience 🙌
