“The tour was very informative. We took our baby and it was good. There were a few steps in the palace and it’s busy in some streets but was manageable. If you have allergies you can say no to the argon oil experience at the chemists. You need to have cash to pay entry to the palace and tombs. We did not go to the tombs because of construction works. Thank you!”
