Culture, dinner and stars - David/Dawood had good knowledge about the culture and about the stars. Place and food was really clean. Nice animals and running horses. I can recommend this tour in Marsa Alam.

Wonderful Beduoin home visit, sunset and night stars - I had a fantastic evening! Araby was good at communicating and confirming details. The pickup was prompt. Dawod (David) spoke English well and was so knowledgeable about the Bedouin history and culture. I learned a lot about stars and constellations from him as well. The dinner was one of the best I had in my two weeks in Egypt.

the real desert experience - As agreed, we were picked up from our hotel by a taxi van. After a short drive we left the main road and drove into the wilderness. At the Bedouin camp we were welcomed by our guide Ferris. He introduced us to the residents of the camp. We were welcomed with coffee. After a discussion about the Bedouin customs, the camels were saddled for a short ride. We were also allowed to bake bread. After this, we admired the sunset from a hill together with our guide. In the meantime, our food was prepared in the traditional way. This tasted really good. Meanwhile, Ferris had set up the telescope to view the stars and planets. He gave a very detailed explanation of everything we saw. It was very special to admire the stars in this way.

Making a memory you won't forget - The Camel Ride, Bedouin Dinner and Star Gazing in Marsa Alam is an unforgettable experience! From the Camel ride in the desert mountains, to learning about the Bedouins while sipping their tea and making bread. That in itself is so amazing, but what comes next is both exciting and tranquil at the same time. The sunset is beyond beautiful, the meal is delicious – but then the sun sets, and the stars come, the provided professional telecopes and expert astronomer adds to la lasting moment that will not be forgotten.

Thank you Sabry for a great tour - I love the stars now after doing this perfect tour. I enjoyed every minute in the tour, dinner was delicious, the view of the desert there is soo beautiful and also our tour guide was so informative. Sabri our tour guide gave us a lot of information about Bedouins and how simple is their life. And oh my god he is so informative about the stars and the constellations. I am sure if I come back to Marsa Alam I will make sure to do this tour again.

Amazing one! - One of the best trips I went through. It is normal for me to go solo, but this time it was one of the best of them because it was a feeling like family, especially the staff, as it was the most useful and effective thing for me on this trip. If I had the opportunity, I would repeat it once. Others with the same staff and assistance, thank you♥️

Disappointing and overpriced - Big DISAPPOINTMENT! This excursion was way over-priced for what it was. We had done an excursion in the desert to visit a Bedouin camp in the past and this one paled in comparison. Here are a few things that let us down: - hotel transfer was supposed to be in an air conditioned vehicle. Instead, we were picked up by an off-duty, old taxi, with no A/C (not even working windows from the back seat) - we had to walk to the gates of our resort complex because the driver wasn’t let in, which was not a problem for any of the other tours we took during our stay. (The other tours had legitimate vehicles) - Only 2 of us did the camel ride (the 3rd person in the group chose not to), but regardless of this THE RIDE WAS LESS THAN 5 MINUTES!! Which was a big let down when the excursion description promised 30 minutes. We got on the camels, they were led up a sight hill and we got off. 5 minutes total. What was good: - Our time at the Bedouin camp was nice. Our hosts offered us hibiscus drink when we arrived and the local coffee and food was very good. They talked to us about their daily routine and culture. - The stargazing was also nice and the explanations interesting. Overall we were disappointed and the whole thing felt very gimmicky - all about taking pictures of us doing stuff. The price per person charged is way too high for the experience.
