What a treat this excursion was. Myself husband and 2 children (8yrs and 14yrs) Had the best day and evening,tour guide driver and all the other locals that we had the joy of meeting were so helpful welcoming and informative. The food,camel ride,Egyptian tea and the star gazing was all fantastic,highly recommend this for any age group.

Muhmed is, he says, self-taught when it comes to astrology, but the time spent in the desert listening to stories and star constellations is one of the coolest things to do during our stay in Egypt. Of course, the afternoon on the hill that preceded the evening and watching the sunset in the Sahara with good Arabic tea was a beautiful experience. The camel ride was the most popular among children.

The Bedouin village is surrounded by alfalfa fields and trees with citrus fruits that are watered by wells. We were warmly welcomed there with tea before we were driven up a hill to marvel at the sunset and to ride camels. Back at the Bedouins we were served an excellent meal and watched as more and more stars appeared in the sky. The view through the telescope at the new moon was particularly fascinating !!
