Jonah was great at driving the jeep. He made it wild and bumpy with good music. Arabi was a great guide at the beduoin tribe where we saw how they made bread, crops grown, herbal medicine. Had a fab view for the sunset then we saw stars and planets both through telescope and by eye. He is so so knowledgeable on the stars. Dinner was okay but not for everyone. Do take bug spray if going. Oh and we had short camel ride with fab photos
Thank you so much for your amazing and detailed feedback! We’re really happy to hear that you had such a memorable experience. Jonah will be delighted to know you enjoyed the exciting jeep ride and the great music — sounds like a fun adventure! It’s also wonderful to hear your kind words about Arabi. His knowledge about the Bedouin lifestyle, herbs, and especially the stars truly makes the experience special, and we’re glad you enjoyed the sunset, stargazing, and telescope views. Thank you as well for your honest note about the dinner and helpful tip about bringing bug spray — this will definitely help future guests. We’re glad you enjoyed the camel ride and captured some beautiful photos too We hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable trip with E.T.O TRAVELS!
This was an amazing experience! Great experience for the value! Miso was the best tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the star gazing aspect and made it fun and interesting! Make sure you bring something warm as the desert gets very cold at night. The food was unexpectedly good and they had professional photographers to document your time there.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are truly happy to hear that you had such an amazing experience and that the trip offered great value for you. It’s especially nice to know that Miso made the experience even more enjoyable with his knowledge about the stars and his fun way of explaining everything during the stargazing. 🌌✨ The desert nights can indeed get quite cold, so your advice about bringing something warm will definitely help future guests.

Very relaxed trip to the Beautiful Desert 🏜️ I brought my telescope Seestar S50 from Switzerland and took great pictures
vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihr wunderbares Feedback! 🌟 Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie einen so entspannten Ausflug in die wunderschöne Wüste hatten 🏜️ Wie großartig, dass Sie Ihr Seestar S50 Teleskop aus der Schweiz mitgebracht haben und so tolle Aufnahmen machen konnten! Der Sternenhimmel in der Wüste ist wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes ✨ Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie einige Ihrer Fotos mit uns teilen möchten. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einem weiteren unvergesslichen Abenteuer begrüßen zu dürfen!
We were on 18.1.26 to stargaze in the desert. The trip was very nice. Our guide Arabi was very nice and asked regularly if we understood everything, or have questions. You can tell that he himself had a lot of fun and knows his way around. Jeep ride into the desert was wild! It goes over sand and dunes, the driver has started a party playlist, the whole thing has felt like a roller coaster ride at the fair :D We always had enough time for Pippi breaks or photos (with sunset and camel) The food was delicious and the stargazing fascinating. It was a really nice day:)
Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre wunderbare und ausführliche Bewertung 🌟 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen der Ausflug zum Sterne gucken in der Wüste so gut gefallen hat. Arabi ist tatsächlich ein großartiger Guide, und wir sind sehr stolz darauf, dass er mit seiner Freundlichkeit, seinem Wissen und seiner Begeisterung zu diesem besonderen Erlebnis beigetragen hat. Ihre netten Worte geben wir sehr gerne an ihn weiter. Die Jeepfahrt durch Sand und Dünen klingt nach einer echten Portion Abenteuer 😄 umso schöner, dass Sie dabei Spaß hatten und die Stimmung genießen konnten. Es ist toll zu hören, dass ausreichend Zeit für Pausen, Fotos, den Sonnenuntergang und das Kamelreiten war. Dass Ihnen das Essen geschmeckt hat und der Blick in den Sternenhimmel Sie begeistert hat, freut uns ganz besonders. Genau solche Momente möchten wir unseren Gästen ermöglichen. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für uns entschieden haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei einem weiteren unvergesslichen Erlebnis begrüßen zu dürfen 🌌✨
Two options are available with or without quad. To do again we would not do the quad. 30 minutes in a large plot to make a loop including 10 minutes of photo breaks sold at the end of the shoot 20 dollars. We had our glasses and scarves but big forcing us to buy theirs 11 dollars for 2 for two squares of fabrics and a pair of glasses to return at the end of the turn. We resisted the second pair. Finally our personal equipment would have been more than enough. Finally we are invited not to forget the tip. For us no interest. On the other hand the subsequent visit deserves the exit. Nasser a passionate young guide has a well-honed organization no waste of time and fascinating astronomy explanations. A barbecue meal and some explanations about Bedouin life. This part raises the grade without problem and saved our day!
Merci beaucoup d’avoir pris le temps de partager un retour aussi détaillé et constructif sur votre expérience. Nous sommes sincèrement désolés que la partie quad n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Vos remarques concernant la durée, les pauses, la proposition des photos ainsi que la pression ressentie pour l’achat d’équipement sont bien notées. Nous comprenons parfaitement que votre équipement personnel était suffisant, et nous allons transmettre ces points à notre équipe afin d’améliorer la clarté des informations et d’éviter toute situation pouvant être perçue comme insistante. Concernant le pourboire, nous tenons à préciser qu’il doit toujours rester facultatif et à la discrétion de nos clients. Nous sommes en revanche ravis de lire que la suite de l’excursion a su répondre à vos attentes et même sauver votre journée. Vos mots à propos de Nasser nous font particulièrement plaisir : son professionnalisme, sa passion pour l’astronomie, sa bonne organisation ainsi que les explications sur la vie bédouine et le dîner barbecue représentent exactement l’expérience authentique que nous souhaitons offrir à nos visiteurs. Votre retour est très précieux pour nous, car il nous aide à améliorer nos services et à mieux orienter nos futurs clients, notamment sur les options avec ou sans quad. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une expérience encore plus conforme à vos attentes. Cordialement.
We went for a stargazing experience but it started off with being thrown around in a jeep crossing the desert for a hour with overly loud music constantly playing. The drive wasn’t enjoyable at all. When we arrived at the village we had a 3-4 minute camel ride and then climb up a rocky mound to watch the sunset. We were shown into a tent to see a lady making flat bread and advised we could tip her. We then went into a tent where they had traditional medicines for us to purchase. We had a very nice diner at the camp but were then advised we could tip the people who lived in the camp. We watched the moon but didn’t see many starts in the sky at all to be honest. We set off back across the desert on a one hour drive again and were advised we could tip the driver. People need to realise that tourists aren’t walking ATM’s. Overall the diner was nice but the rest of the trip was not what we’d imagined it would be.
Dear Guest, Good afternoon, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your recent stargazing experience. We truly value your comments, as they help us to continually improve our programs and services. We’re very sorry to hear that some parts of the trip did not meet your expectations. The off-road desert drive is indeed part of the adventure experience, but we fully understand that it can feel uncomfortable for some guests, and we will review the driving style and music volume with our team to ensure a more pleasant journey in the future. Regarding the tipping situations, we sincerely apologize if this made you feel uncomfortable. Tipping is always voluntary, and we will remind all staff and partners to make this clear to every guest. We are, however, pleased to hear that you enjoyed the dinner at the camp, and we hope that this part of the evening brought you some enjoyment despite the other concerns. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will make sure to address these points carefully so that future guests have a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Thank you again for sharing your honest opinion — it truly helps us improve. We hope we may have the chance to welcome you again in the future for a more relaxing and satisfying experience. Kind regards.
A great experience for the whole family! Especially our guide Ibrahim made the experience perfect through his knowledge.
Vielen Dank für Ihr wunderbares Feedback! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie und Ihre Familie ein so tolles Erlebnis hatten. Es ist schön zu hören, dass Ibrahim Ihre Tour mit seinem Wissen und seiner Führung zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht hat. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder auf einem weiteren Abenteuer begrüßen zu dürfen! 🌞
It started out with good expectations, the ATV ride was enjoyable and the staff pleasant after which we were transferred to the desert camp for the camel ride and stargazing this is where it became a bit unraveled the English speaking guide was not present and we were left to the German speaking guide to escort us and we found it impossible to take things in not speaking German, the saving grace was the arrival if late of the English guide who was very knowledgeable. I would have given 5 Stars if all had gone smoothly.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the ATV ride and found our staff pleasant and helpful. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during the camel ride and stargazing portion of your tour. It’s unfortunate that our English-speaking guide was not available at the start — we completely understand how this affected your experience. We’re glad our English guide was eventually able to join and make the rest of your evening enjoyable. Your comments have been shared with our team to ensure better coordination and communication so this doesn’t happen again. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a seamless, 5-star experience next time. Warm regards,
Would highly recommend , jeep safari across the dessert ,followed by dinner with the Bedouins then learn about stargazing and the opportunity to see the moon and Saturn through large telescopes
Thank you so much for your wonderful recommendation! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the jeep safari adventure, the Bedouin dinner, and the magical stargazing experience. It’s always special when our guests get to witness the beauty of the desert sky and even see planets like Saturn through the telescope. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future!
Excellent chance to get away from light pollution and see something other than pavement. Educational and enjoyable. Take plenty of extra water and then some more with you (we went in August). Our "guide to the stars" (Adam) was amazing, highly recommended if you want to see the desert stars.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! 🌌 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and had the chance to escape the city lights to admire the beauty of the desert sky. We truly appreciate your helpful advice for future travelers about bringing extra water, especially during the hot summer months. Adam will be so happy to know that he made your stargazing adventure even more special. We’d love to welcome you again for another magical evening under the stars! ✨
