Fun for the whole family - We booked this trip as a family because we wanted to have several experiences at once.
We had a German speaking guide called Hamid and were very pleased with him. He always stood by us with questions and explained everything patiently and kindly and we had brought some questions. We really had a great trip as a family! We were 2 adults and 3 children (8J, 6J, 7 months). The surroundings to quad and jeep driving is breathtakingly beautiful, as is the location. The kids had a lot of fun. The Bedouin shop is well maintained and looks high quality so far. The buffet dinner was very delicious and even tastier than in our hotel. It was a great experience to see the starry sky and some constellations from Egypt. We can only recommend this trip and would love to come back!

Highly recommended - This was the best tour in our eleven-day trip in Egypt. Also, operators did not intimidate us to give any tip.

Starry sky - We had a fantastic time with David. Nicely picked up by a driver from the hotel. Arriving we quat and drove a 4x4 through the desert, furthermore also drove a little bit on a camel. Then watched the beautiful sunset and ate delicious. After dinner I saw a nice performance and a fire show. Finally, we looked at the beautiful starry sky and got a good explanation from David. Experienced another special adventure

Interesting and cozy excursion - It was a very nice excursion with good food. The taxi driver who picked us up already made a party of it, but also the guide (Arabi) and photographer (Paulo) were nice. What we really liked was that nothing was forced on you, the options were given eg for buying photos but there was no pushing afterwards. We bought the pictures by the way, that was 15 euros which is a really good price for so many very beautiful pictures.

Honest review - Family of 5 . Lovely experience shame we didnt get the option to lay and watch the stars as the children wasn't interested in the facts . Muhammad was very snappy more like a school trip which was a shame calling people lazy it is hot a long drive in none ac vehicle in the middle of the afternoon. Not everyone is use to the heat . Let people take in the wonders dont rush and give the option to speak about facts that was too long and not enough time to look at the beauty of the skies . Honest review alot of facts about desert living and stars . Not much gazing at all.

Out of an Indiana jones book! - Great organization! We had a lot of fun and everything was above expectations especially for the price. Alex was great and took the time to interact with every member of the group even with those who he didn’t have a common language with.
A mix of knowledge, adventure, eye and heart filling experience. Highlight of our trip!

Was once something different and very interesting - All in all, this was a successful evening in the Bedouin village! Our guide Alexander was super explained everything well and answered all questions. Only the transport back to the hotel was a bit long with 1.5 hours but otherwise everything was top!

Amazing different activities within one trip - My husband, my two kids of 5-years and 9 -years old boys and i had a nice tour of 6 hours with several difference activities during this tour (for example drive with quad and jeep through the desert, visit a village, short ride with the camals, taste some bread of the village, had delicious food and show and an amazing night to see clearly the planets and many stars. My kids loved it! We would recommended this tour to anyone that wants to do activities outside the resort and/or hotel. The people that organized the trip and the person that i have contacted with were kind, helpfull and always reply quick if you have questions regards the tour.

Deeply Disappointing – Total mismatch with the official description - Don’t be fooled by the "Astronomical Specialists" labels. This experience was a complete failure compared to what was promised in the offer.
The Reality vs. The Promise:
Poor Equipment & Skills: Despite the claim of using a "GPS-directed Meade telescope", Jupiter and Saturn were just blurry white dots. The guide showed no passion and clearly didn't know how to set up the telescope properly.
Light Pollution: The description promises "some of the best conditions on Earth for observation" in the middle of the desert. Instead, it was organized in a Bedouin village surrounded by bright shop lights that ruined the sky visibility.
False Advertising: The "astronomer knowledge" promised was non-existent. The photos in the gallery bear no resemblance to the actual experience.
Value for Money: At nearly £50 per person, the stargazing part was "rubbish." Only the quad biking was okay, but that doesn't justify the price or the 5-star TripAdvisor rating.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a professional "Space Observers" experience, look elsewhere. This was a massive letdown.
