Amazing star gazing evening - We booked this via our hotel. The cost was £40 per person but was definitely worth double that!!
We were picked up at our hotel and headed off for a jeep safari in the desert, which was such good fun - possibly not if you have a bad back though!
We arrived at our destination and had the opportunity to have a camel ride, before having a delicious BBQ buffet dinner.
We climbed a hill to watch the sunset which was absolutely stunning and had plenty of time to take photos.
After the sun had set the lights were turned off in the camp and the stars were incredible with no light pollution. We saw Jupiter and Sirius through a telescope - AWESOME. The guide gave a very detailed explanation of all the stars we could see.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

From fun jeep Tour to the life of beduins and wondeful star watching - It first started with a jeep Tour to a beduin village, that was a really fun drive like a rollercoaster ride but i wouldnt recommend it for people with back pain or a sensible stomach. Arrived at the beduin village we get a traditional tea and then go to camels for a short ride and pictures. Afterwards we gone to beduin woman which baked a very tasty bread all this was commented by our guide Ai who done a great Job and answered questions aswell. The next was a visit by an beduin "doctor" which guided us through some natural products which the beduins made and we got a chance to buy some of it (only if you want). Then we got up a Hill to watch the sunset which Was a beautiful scenery with the mountains. After the sunset we ate an meal made by the people there, it was tasty aswell. While we ate the sun was completly gone and the stars appeared so we gone to a place to watch stars. There was a telescop and a guide who telled us something about star sign, afterwards we drove back with the jeep. All in all it was a wonderful Trip which is highly to recommend!!

Excellent experience! - Great quad biking and good fun with the jeep safari to and from the village. Dinner was tasty and the star gazing was fantastic. The telescope allowed us to get a close up of the moon and to see Saturn and Jupiter. The guides were brilliant!

Bedouin experience in the desert - Very nice tour to get a sense of the Bedouin life in the desert. Nice food. Unfortunately we had a cloudy sky, so couldn't see much of the stars, but the tour itself was very nice

Fantastic experience, exceeded expectations! - Mousa was our guide; very knowledgable and friendly, answered any questions. The jeep ride into the desert is bumpy but so much fun. The scenery is breathtaking; we felt like we were in a movie. The Bedouin experience was a real treat, we saw ladies making bread and got to taste it, learnt about their way of life. We had a fantastic meal of chicken, beef, potatoes and vegetables that had been cooked in the ground, along with salads, baba ganouche and fruit.
Then we went onto the stargazing which was amazing. We saw jupiters moons and rings, Saturn and the rings and an extreme close up on the moon.
Mousa pointed out various constellations and stories of how the Bedouin people read the sky.
I have never seen Orion so complete- shield, bow, dog and Taurus all with the naked eye!
Amazing experience from start to finish.
I would say make sure you take some extra drinks with you, definitely wear suitable shoes (lots of sand and rocks) and pack a jumper as it’s cold in the desert at night.

memorable evening on the star-gazing tour - We had a really lovely and memorable evening on the star-gazing tour and would like to sincerely thank the team for a well-organised experience.
We were picked up from our hotel in Hurghada around 2 pm, exactly as agreed, by a very kind driver and guide who stayed with us throughout the entire evening. On the way to the Bedouin camp for dinner and stargazing, we first stopped at an open spot with mountains on the horizon to watch the sunset. It was a beautiful moment and the scenery was stunning, a nice start to the excursion. I also enjoyed the car ride in the desert.
If I may share one small and very gentle suggestion: personally, I felt we spent quite a long time at the sunset stop (around one hour), and by the time we arrived at the Bedouin camp, the sun had already set. We then had only a very short time before it became fully dark. I would have loved to experience the sunset at the camp instead, so there would have been a little more daylight to take in the surroundings.
Seeing the camp, the people there, the cute Camels and the atmosphere in daylight would have been wonderful — especially having time to look at the herbs and creams they sell without using small flashlights, to take a few photos, and to gently explore the place before dinner. That said, the camp itself felt very welcoming and authentic, and the people were kind and warm.
The dinner was excellent and truly special. The food was prepared on site in a traditional way, cooked underground, which made it both delicious and a very unique experience. We really appreciated that.
The stargazing itself was the highlight of the evening. The guide was clearly very knowledgeable and explained the night sky with great passion and clarity. It was fascinating and beautifully done. We also appreciated that there was a photographer present during the whole excursion, capturing those moments for anyone who wished. Our group was small (only eight people), which made the experience feel personal and relaxed.
Overall, this was a wonderful evening that we truly enjoyed. With just a small adjustment to timing around sunset and arrival at the camp, it could be even more magical. Thank you again for a very special experience — we will definitely remember it. ❤️

Cold! Uncomfortable! - It’s freezing cold, so bring both sweather and jacket.
Transport in a very simple jeep where 8 people are benched in the back. Bumpy and uncomfortable.
I got sick, but don’t know if it was the food og just the cold.
Most important. It’s a scam. Mussa said that it was a beduin village with 13 family. Honestly, we felt it to be staged for tourists. Where did they live? Why did we meet the same 6-8 people?
