“We were not directly picked up at our hotel, but also didn't live in one of the of the mayor once in Eilat. That was made up for by the tour itself and Alex, as well as Dimitry (if I remember his name correctly). Alex is funny and knows a lot about the stony desert, the animals and plants that live there, but also knew how to deal with different types of customers. We had lots of laughter with him during the tour. Besides a tasty tea and some bread with cream cheese and herbs, we received an astonishing view from the top of a roughly 750 meters tall mountain.…”
