Highly recommended to book with Abdul for your Monkey Fingers hike.
Abdul was a fantastic guide, and a super great guy! He is knowledgable of the area, conversational and engaging, and very helpful. He goes well and beyond to make your experience memorable and to host you with true Berber hospitality. You will probably even come away with a new friend. I loved the little extra video montage that he shared of some of the photos and highlights of our hike, which he captured. Thanks so much Abdul!! I wish you great success!
