    Full description

    Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Egyptian desert on this star-gazing tour from Hurghada with hotel transfers included. Board a Jeep and take in the sunset, then ride a camel, have Bedouin tea and a BBQ dinner, and enjoy stargazing with an astronomist.

    Begin with pickup by Jeep to your tour starting point. Then, venture for 26 kilometers into the picturesque desert of Hurghada. Drive through the sunset observation area until you reach the Bedouin camp.

    Next, receive a cool and refreshing welcome drink as well as herbal Bedouin tea. Continue with your guide and experience traditional Bedouin life, including a Bedouin buffet dinner. After dinner, relish the tranquility of the desert and the millions of stars away from the noise of the city. Follow your guide on a trip to see the distant milky way represented through the stars.

    I had a great time. The setting was beautiful, the ride out to the desert was exciting and I enjoyed seeing the stars/moon. The dinner was also very good. The whole excursion was about 4 hours. The only thing I would change is a longer camel ride (It is maybe 2 minutes). But a great trip overall!

    It was an amazing experience. Our guide Moussa was great. The jeep ride was so much fun, good food and we got to learn about the stars and constellations. Also got some pretty cool pictures of the moon. The experience is completely worth it and I recommend it to anyone.

    The experience out in the desert was amazing, with a knowledgeable astronomer who was able to explain the night sky effortlessly! The drive into the desert was a bit too hair raising, I’m not too sure of the value of having 8 people being needlessly thrown around inside a keep, it wasn’t fun! The driver was driving way too fast over uneven terrain, I ended up with an injury to my foot that just plain common sense would have prevented!
