    Travelled as a couple


    Nach einer 3-stündigen Autofahrt zum Berg hatten wir gerade mal 25 Minuten Zeit, uns dort aufzuhalten. Aufgrund Zeitdruck konnten wir nicht bis zur Aussichtsspitze gehen, ein Eindruck von der Landschaft, dem Berg war gar nicht möglich. Guide kommunizierte so, dass dies nur ein Fotostop wäre, so dachten wir, es geht noch weiter hoch, dabei fuhren wir wieder zurück . Dieser Ausflug ist so nicht empfehlenswert.

    Travelled with family


    Fahrer Sollte man nicht bei Ramadan ca. 7h fahren lassen, wenn dieser bei Tageslicht weder trinken noch essen darf !!! Fährt zu schnell - Zu dicht auf - Driftet regelmäßig nahe am Abgrund - Übersieht bumper —> Vollbremsung - Verpasst Ausfahrt auf Rückfahrt daher nochmal 10 min länger wegen Stau Was wurde vom Guide eigentlich vermittelt ? Außer dass der Meeting Point vereinbart wurde Andere Guides haben Ihre Kunden auch im fort begleitet Lunch ist ausgefallen - Nur Blätterteig Taschen p.p.
