نقطة الالتقاء

Your guide will be standing outside of the Tourism Office, with a view of the "rotonde' fountain, holding a folder. This area is very bright in the summer, so we suggest you bring your sunglasses. The tour will leave maximum 10 minutes after the allocated meet time! We will contact you via SMS.
