Basma was also very helpful. She welcomed us with some juice and cakes. Gave us all the information we needed for our touring days, and at night she surprised us with a delicious stuffed eggplant dinner.

And you can find all your needs in this neighborhood. Thank you Basma for hosting us. Hoping to see you aoon.
