Pure mysticism and grandeur! One of the most beautiful and impressive adventures on the Red Sea! We were thrilled and very grateful for this wonderful opportunity. The team was wonderful and the nature pictures, such as the Sundowner or the Milky Way in the sky in the evening, were not only wonderfully beautiful but also incredibly mystical. On the trail of history with great Gazelle team, thank you for that! We’ll never forget it.

A Taste of Tradition: Dining Under the Stars

A review from August 2, 2024, perfectly encapsulates the magic of this experience:

El Gouna - Desert Trip Romantic Dinner for two under the stars - Our trip was billed as a ‘Romantic dining for 2 in the desert under the stars’ - it was excellent, great value for money & absolutely lived up to the billing. Our guide, Mustafa, & driver ‘Talik’ are a great double act. Nothing was too much trouble & we felt very safe in their capable hands. Their passion for the incredible geology of the desert, the mountains & the stunning canyon we drove / walked through was infectious & very informative. Our stop at a Bedouin encampment on the way & later a BBQ under the stars was a very memorable experience - the food was excellent. We highly recommend this company if you are ever in El Gouna & looking for a great trip into the desert…
