Darren and Janeta bit cheaper than that, but more expensive than I was expecting - I was thinking about $5-10 dollars (35 to 70 dirham).. bearing in mind we can get dinner for 2 for 80 dirham)... I asked one today and he said "whatever you want to pay".. but I've read about those and they ask for 300 when they finish! So we moved on to the next, who asked 150 for both. I said no and he immediately came down to 80 for both... which seemed fair 😁
