Ali Photo - Immersing experience. I loved the timing of each part of the itinerary. The photographer Ali is a professional as he himself says. Good shoots.

Breathtaking experience - Had an amazing and interesting experience starwatching in the desert . Everyone was so kind and helpful , from the Land Cruiser driver to the guides . Al Arabi and other ones present. The Bedouin family who welcomed us was also very nice and friendly. Watching the moon and the stars in such a non polluted atmosphere was incredible.

Amazing, unique desert experience - Well organised with very knowledgeable guides - shout out to Arabi who explained so much about the stars. Amazing experience, lying down and looking up at the sky. This followed watching the sunset behind the mountains and a lovely Bedouin meal. The mountainous desert landscape is out of this world. A unique experience not to be missed.

Great experience - We were picked up on time at the hotel by Sam and Sidig. The drive to the desert was an experience in itself. The drive into the desert was a bit bumpy but the well-being of the passengers was taken into account. When we got there, we met our German-speaking guide Nasser. He bought us a cup of tea and gave us an insight into the life of the Bedouins. The sunset in the desert was amazing. After that, we had a delicious meal. We were able to look at the stars and the moon through the telescopes. Nasser then explained the constellations of Egypt to us in more detail. The return journey was full of people and everyone was in a good mood. We would do it again any time, a great experience!

Friendly people and nice trip - Great Trip! Our guide Nasser gave us very nice insights into bedouin life and the positions of the stars. He was very professional and friendly. The inhabitants were also welcoming and warm. Also the driver Tarek was friendly. Just be prepared for the scorching heat and the long ride but it was worth it.

Fantastic experience and photoshoot - just not great for those with travel sickness! - We went on Monday 10th June 4pm. The photoshoot and photographer was amazing, the dinner served was lovely. The tour guide (Arabi - apologies if spelled incorrectly!) was brilliant, knowledgeable and funny from start to end. The only thing we’d say was that we went as a couple and one of us suffers from travel sickness and the journey back was really not enjoyable, very very bumpy, speedy and driving with no lights on in pitch black 10pm. Apart from that, it was a good experience! Thank you.

Excellent, a star knocked off for transport - Really enjoyable and informative experience. As some have said the only thing to let it down was the baking hot van (not jeep) that you travel in. Room in the back of the van was cramped with 8 people sitting side by side. Other than that, I would wholeheartedly recommend this as a once in a lifetime experience: the desert, camel ride, sunset, meal and stargazing. Absolute bargain of a trip.

If you survive the hot jeep the stars are n8ce - I booked this trip mainly for the stargazing. Moussa was great and has such a kind heart. Very knowledgable Pointing out the stars and all the constellations. The only bad part was the crowded, hot jeep ride of 2hrs each way with no air condition. I do not recommend in the summer or if you are claustrophobic, elderly, pregnant, young kids, motion sick, breathing issues, not used to hot weather or suffer from panic attacks. The sunset at 7:36 in june after sunset was dinner of chicken, rice, potatoes and salad. After dinner we looked thru telescopes and layed on carpets for constellations. Got back to hotel at 10pm. The jeep held 11 people.
