Overall, I rated it well! The transportation staff were very attentive! The climb to the summit is very demanding, especially the final stretch! Notes: the tour is not in Spanish as stated on the website, and although they speak English, the Bedouin guide speaks 95% of the way up in Russian and nothing else! They only tell you when you're about to climb that there are criminal gangs on the mountain and that you should be very careful. When you reach the summit, you take a photo as the sun rises, and then everyone has to descend 10 minutes later!
Dress in layers and wear warm clothing or clothing that protects you from the cold. The only annoying thing is the constant insistence of the Bedouins to rent you blankets. There's a bit of a rush to get a spot to see the sunrise. Good experience, but the trek is very challenging and not suitable for small children, the elderly, or those who have trouble climbing stairs.
