Guides:

• Rafi (Algeria)- excellent and very accommodating in every way.
• Nala (Algeria) – My favorite. Very educated, exciting to be with and very knowledgeable about all the areas she guided us to.
• Nadhem (Tunisia) – excellent in every way. Top notch. He’s what everyone wants and more. His driver, Lotfi was excellent too and a real character. He kept playing and singing Hotel California. Very fun.
