Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner

I have absolutely no regrets about booking this activity. Every single part of the experience was truly fantastic, from beginning to end. Our guide, Hakim, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. He made sure that we felt comfortable and that the entire experience was enjoyable and memorable. His knowledge and genuine enthusiasm added so much to the experience. This is an experience I will remember forever. Watching the sunset slowly disappear behind the mountains, followed by the breathtaking view of the night sky filled with stars, was truly magical. It was one of those moments where you simply stop and take it all in. I’m so grateful that I booked this experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something truly special and unforgettable.

We were there with Hakim and Alexander. They both did a great job making sure everyone was comfortable and keeping everyone in good spirits. They also explained a lot of things.

One of the most spectacular experiences we have ever had. Every part of the experience was amazing. We enjoyed breathtaking views of the cosmos and got some fantastic pictures, all with additional cultural lessons and amazing local food. Miso was great with the camera, and our guide Arabi was friendly, knowledgeable and couldn't do enough to make sure you were okay throughout. 20 out of 10 experience!!! P.S: don't make the same mistake I did, you trek up a rocky hill to see the sunset so wear appropriate footwear!

Picked up from hotel in a dusty, old vehicle which was pulled in by security..this then delayed us (he did drive like the clappers then!) joining the other jeep at a service station for the trek (25 miles) across the desert ..our vehicle was a genuine Bedouin jeep type vehicle ..again built for the desert ..dusty with no seatbelts nor air conditioning with 5 of us (including 1 child) crammed in with the photographer for the day ..the lumps and bumps were a novelty at first.. we met with our guide who was brilliant and very enthusiastic about the area/his stargazing knowledge was awesome and we had great views of the moon and other planets with his large telescope ..we also climbed some rocks to watch the amazing sunset ..then a 'feast' by candlight.. we passed on that as the washing hand facilities were not apparent and someone pointed out that the chicken was pink and not safe to eat ..our guide was informed.. All in all a great experience and the pics were amazing..but perhaps leave the buffet alone .... We met some of the Beduoin community .. And their the camels ..so it really felt like the real thing and not staged ..just be aware and don't risk spoiling a holiday with the buffet .(.or keep it meat free ) ..and take a pack of moist tissues with you !

Thanks a lot to Arabi our guide

Great experience with best astronomer Dawod

A great excursion that was well organized. Our guide Arabi comes highly recommended - he spoke excellent German and was happy to answer all our questions. The family in the visited Bedouin village was very warm, especially the two little children. The food was very delicious and was enjoyed under the starry sky. The starry sky was simply wow. You don't often get to see something like this. Thank you for this wonderful excursion.

The tour was great. Really well organised. Communication before and during the tour was excellent. The pick up from Soma Bay worked well. We had a lovely trip, the driver and guides were all helpful and considerate and Nasser was really knowledgeable and helpful when explaining about the stars. The camel ride and horse ride were fun and learning about the lifestyle, the herbs and cooking of the flat breads was really interesting. The buffet dinner was also good.

We had the most incredible time on the Hurghada Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner – it truly exceeded all expectations and was one of the highlights of our trip. A very special thank you to Muhammad Ramadan, our English-speaking guide, who made the entire experience unforgettable. His English was perfect, and he was so warm, friendly and genuinely caring throughout. He went above and beyond to look after our son (who was about to turn 7 at the time), making him feel included and comfortable, which meant so much to us. He made the whole experience feel really personal. From start to finish, everything was amazing. The jeep ride through the desert was so much fun, and watching the sunset across the vast, peaceful landscape – far away from the city – was absolutely breathtaking. We loved meeting the local family, especially their daughter Hadisha, who was brilliant and so confident with the camels. It was clear the animals are very well cared for, which was lovely to see. We also had the chance to learn how to make traditional bread with the ladies, which was such a special and authentic experience. Muhammad showed us the local area where vegetables are grown for nearby hotels, and we even picked some fresh produce ourselves. The tomatoes, cucumber and aubergine were incredibly fresh and full of flavour – you could really taste the difference. The evening meal under the stars was just magical. To top it all off, Arabi gave a fascinating and engaging explanation of the stars, which brought the whole experience together beautifully. Having both Arabi and Muhammad sharing their knowledge made it even more special. This was such a unique, authentic and memorable experience – we would recommend it to anyone visiting Hurghada. Thank you again to Muhammad Ramadan and the whole team for such a truly unforgettable day.

Exactly what I was expecting and more! The Jeep ride through the sandy desert was super exhilarating! I wish the camel ride was a bit longer...but grateful to do it. The sunset and walk around the village with the dinner was nice. But the telescope to see the moon and planets BLEW my mind!! The instruction of the stars and constellations was awesome! Thank you!
