Vivid, extraordinary experience! - We had wonderful time, in particular kids were amazed and excited. Quad/Buggy even beduin pharmacy and fire/dance show - very cool. Star gazing - very cool, the telescope enabled us to look closely to Jupiter and Moon surface - WOW! The guy had very broad knowledge about sky. Slightly chaotic atmosphere and logistic and I am not sure about all animals welfare, but all in all we had wonderful adventure - thank you!

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.

Varied tour, a bit rushed - We thought it was a fun and successful tour, with a lot of elements; with a small 4x4 and quad bike through the desert, the show, dinner (walking buffet) stargazing...
I was sorry that everything was so touristy and rushed; you haven't finished your tea yet or you have to head for the camels, where a lot of people are waiting in line for a very short ride. On to the mini zoo where there is a monkey that you can feed with sun seeds, a lonely turtle, a small scorpion in a jar and some birds in a too small pen. No longer of this time to keep animals like this, I didn't have to do this.
What's mostly missed is a bit more context, this would make the experience better. We have not received any explanation about the area or the Bedouin people, nature, animals or the dance performed during the show. However, compliments for the organization, there are many groups that have booked activities simultaneously, yet everything went smoothly.
We came mainly for the stars, which was very special, the explanation (navigation, seasons, etc.) was good. Again, you stand in line to briefly look at Jupiter, Saturn and the moon with a telescope. We would have liked to spend more time on this, but it is only a small part of the tour, so I find the title of this event somewhat misleading.
I would recommend the tour, but don’t let it rush you too much; it’s a holiday after all!

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.

Stargazing itself was worth it, especially if you skip all the extras - Booked a stargazing tour in Marsa Alam with a private operator; original trip canceled due to low attendance (turned out to be a blessing).
Most operators run the same cookie-cutter experience: camel rides, meals, fire shows, dancing, tourist-aimed photo ops—stargazing is usually just a small part.
Stargazing itself was worth it, especially if you skip all the extras—only four people stayed for the stars while ~100 did the full tourist show.
Can get the same stargazing experience for half the price directly through 5-star hotel tour desks once you’re on the ground.
Be aware of tourist traps: “Berber herb” shops sell pre-brought goods, music choices are often modern rap or mismatched styles.
Overall: book on the spot, focus only on stargazing if that’s your goal, and manage expectations about the rest of the package.

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.
