Amazing! - Probably the highlight of our trip to Hurghada! Amazing from beginning to end especially the engagement with the Bedouin locals and children. The meal was divine. The driver drove extremely fast, which made my kids and I feel unsafe, which was the only detractor.

The magic of stargazing in the Egyptian desert - Experience an adventure into the magical Egypt desert. Climb a rocky hill to watch the impressive sunset, visit a Bedouin settlement to partake in a hot refreshing tea, have an encounter with a family of camels which you can ride and enjoy a BBQ dinner. When it becomes dark enjoy the stargazing with Mohammad Araby, a polyglot, a poet, a personality and an astronomer. Listen to him identify and explain the wonders of the sky at night - the stars, the planets, the constellations and their linkage to ancient mythologies.

The stargazing was incredible - memories to last a lifetime - Overall we really enjoyed this trip. One or two little niggles that could have been avoided with a lot better communication. We were expecting a jeep transfer, however it is now a minibus transfer, no issue if we’d known in advance, as it was a little disappointing. Also be aware the sunset view at the top of the dunes is accessed by fairly strenuous walk up a rough track, again no issue if it is made clear beforehand but you will need proper footwear, walking boots/sandals as parts are quite steep, very rocky in places and uneven. That’s the niggles out of the way! It didn’t detract from our enjoyment in the end, we were a family group of five from 9-57 and all enjoyed it equally from the tea in the tent to the fabulous music/singing, lovely food and atmosphere. The astronomy guide was so knowledgeable and so passionate, the stargazing phenomenal- total bucket list experience. There was an initial talk with him using a laser pen to point out all the different stars/constellations and then the opportunity to use the two telescopes to view Jupiter and the nebula of Orion. Amazing - though in honesty the real “stars” of the show were twinkling in their thousands over our heads - mind blowing in their number and beauty. I hope I will always be able to see that sky twinkling in my memories when I close my eyes. Thank you

Stargazing in the desert - We had a fantastic evening in the desert with Mousa and his colleagues. Mouse is very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the Bedouins and astronomy on the journey to the desert. The sunset was stunning and the food was delicious, Mousa even sang a few traditional songs for us which was fun! The star grazing was interesting and I loved the personal touches Mousa added!

Something different - We had a lovely afternoon. The pick up was very prompt from our hotel and we were taken to the bedouin camp where we were given insight into the bedouin way of life. Then we had a very quick camel ride before climbing up the hill to watch the sunset. There was a photographer with us the whole who provided his photos for a very reasonable fee. The view of the sunset was stunning and then we were provided dinner while we waited for the stars to come out. Moussa was very knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for sharing his love of the night sky.

Good value, could enhance this - It took an hour and a half for quite a short drive including pickups from el Gouna. The walk sunset and Bedouin hospitality were good. Nasser was an excellent guide on the astronomy. The location was not remote enough for a really good night sky, el Gouna lights were visible The telescope was ok but not impressive. Excellent value for money at £30 however

unsure - We were picked up from the hotel in a jeep. The trip to the Bedouin village was super fun. We drove off-road and were rocked by the jeep. The Bedouin village was beautiful and frightening at the same time. It was great to get an insight into how these people live. However, I was unsure whether it was all really real. The photographers are totally pushy and ignore it when the children don't want to be photographed. The camels there were kicked if they didn't do what the people there wanted. The geese were cornered and caught by the photographers, a small pony was held for pictures while another person had to hold its mother. After we were shown around, we went up a mountain, where we watched the beautiful sunset. Afterwards we had something to eat and drove home. On the way home, we saw the camels being whipped again.
