Perfect family adventure!
We visited with our two children (ages 8 and 11) and they absolutely loved it! The mule ride was their favorite part. Our guide was fantastic with the kids, patient and entertaining. The mountain scenery is beautiful, and even though it wasn't the sandy Sahara, it was still an incredible experience. The lunch was delicious and they accommodated our dietary requirements perfectly. Highly recommend for families!
