the climb was tougher than i expected, really does your calfs in! but once you get to the summit you watch the beautiful sunrise and incredible views. then you go down the 3000 steps of repentance and this does your knees in and i was particularly careful going down.

Worth the travel, great scenery and view. Hiking up is tiring yet peaceful and rewarding. Took many photos of the beautiful sunset.

In a word Brilliant.............. and at sunset!

Went on sand buggy trip. Make sure you take water and scarves with you as this will cost you £8 on the all inclusive trip!!
