“Our driver Samer and guide Saber were excellent. Saber was amazing and very knowledgeable as he shared a lot of facts on the drive there and knew a lot about the area and the community. Even though we had no guide, he offered to take us around the area and explain things to us. He was very understanding and kept stopping so that we could have a rest. But be warned, the hike is very difficult and is more like bouldering than an actual hike but we enjoyed it anyways because Saber was very good at helping us climb to the top of the mountain. Saber deserves 10/10.”
