We took this private tour of the Alhambra because I expected it to be a highlight of our trip to Spain. It definitely was! Abubakr was our guide, and he was outstanding. I came already knowing a fair amount about the history of this period, but he added so much. At the same time, my husband knew little, but it didn't matter. You could come on this tour with zero background knowledge and fall in love with the Alhambra thanks to this intimate tour. Abubakr taught us to recognize some Arabic words in the calligraphy we saw in the Alhambra, and helped us understand the meaning of the patterns and symbolism -- so fascinating! This tour was three hours, but it went quickly because there was so much to see and learn. Thank you for the great tour, Abubakr!!!
