WOW!!!! ⭐️✨💫 - Ibrahim was amazing. His knowledge of the desert, Bedouins and the night sky was second to none. The amount of stars visible is inexplicable. The jeep safari on route to the Bedouin camp was exciting with a talented driver. Sunset over the desert mountains was beautiful. Lots of opportunities to take amazing photographs and use of telescope to see Venus, Saturn & the butterfly galaxy as well as Milky Way. The Bedouins were welcoming and dinner was nice. Good footwear is a must! As is the opportunity to ride the camels. One of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. 5 out of 5 stars!

Excellent tour - My guide is Fares and he organized the trip very well. I enjoyed all the activities and he has super good knowledge in the stars and really fascinating. The only little minus is that the dinner show was a bit short otherwise it is a more than 5 stars tour!

Desert Stargazing Tour in Marsa Alam - Nice service, authentic and warm. The guide Ar'bi speaks several languages in addition to his mother tongue (English, German, French) and bravo for all his knowledge about the stars and the history of the nomads that he shared with us. He answered all our questions which was really cool. However, we were expecting a beautiful clear and starry night, but the light pollution from the city and the coastal villages, as well as the heat layer on the ground, hampered good visibility. But for what the guide showed us, using his very effective "laser pencil" to point out the stars, it was enough. The camel ride was symbolic (5 min), time to take a few nice photos for memories by the camel drivers. The rather good meal was prepared in the old-fashioned way and in advance, it is not a bbq strictly speaking, but slow cooking in an underground oven of vegetables and meats. Too bad it is served in plastic cutlery and dishes, not great for the environment. Be careful to coordinate the pick-up carefully because we waited an hour on the road while the driver was in front of the hotel reception waiting for us. However, our instructions received by email were clear, we had to wait near the main road. Fortunately finally after exchanges by WhatsApp with the organization, we were able to understand each other so that they could pick us up. From Marsa Shagra Village, it takes 30 minutes by car towards the north then 20 minutes on the track to the west in the desert.

Great experience - Fabulous tour, our guide Mosa was brilliant, very informative and interesting. We learned loads of interesting information regarding the Bedouin and the night sky. Dinner was abundant and delicious and Mosa even sang traditional songs for us. It was a beautiful experience that I’d highly recommend

Enjoyable experience - I enjoyed this very much! The safari jeep was a crazy ride through the desert but that made it all the more exciting for me. My friend didn’t handle it just as well as he ended up being sick once we arrived so I did the rest of the adventure on my own. Lovely sunset view on the mountain & the stargazing was a good experience.
