Stargazing
Tour guide Asab put in a lot of effort; 20€ extra was collected right at the beginning, I don't know what for, food was okay, Bedouin village was a meeting point for about 200 tourists, stargazing was very nice, but you had to wait in line, overall conclusion: You can save yourself the trouble, too expensive, too expensive, not enough offered.

Scam! Beware! Avoid! I had to contact the tourist police about this company.
This is a scam! Don't use this company or tour. I waited over an hour for them to arrive and they never showed. I am contacting the tourist police to report them. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
Operator response
Dear William We’re sorry to hear about your experience. However, we checked this booking and our driver did arrive at the agreed pickup point and waited for you. We also tried to contact you, but we did not receive your current location or any response that allowed us to find you. We understand the frustration, but describing this as a “scam” is not accurate. We always looking forward to make our customers happy with their experience

Great discovery
Very good experience, with nice explanations in French. The meal was good as well.
The only downside was the line in front of the telescopes (a few seconds per person), and the fact that we only saw two celestial bodies with them. The view with the naked eye was still very beautiful!

Stargazing amazing
A wwe bit mixed for us. Got a message the night before giving me details of the trip. The message stated that the government fees were €1/$2 per person. When we were in the truck I get a message saying they made a mistake thr fees are €5 per person. They sent me a link to pay but by that stage I lost signal. We get to the destination and was told I needed to pay $25. I only brought $20 as i thought the fees were $2 because thats what they had told me. The group beside me all paid in $ cash snd seemed only to be charged €2 each.
The truck ride itself was enjoyable very warm so if you are going make sure you bring water as they advise. The lack of a seat belt was a surprise.
The walk up the hill for sunset was unexpected on of my daughters struggled. There was no advice to say if you dont want to go up the hill stay here. The message was follow him.
I enjoyed the food and the local men singing.
The entire reason we went the star gazing was fantastic. Seeing the moons Jupiter was awesome and Max's knowledge of the stars was awesome.

Amazing desert night & stargazing ✨
We had such a beautiful experience! 🌌
The whole team was kind, funny and welcoming from the first minute. The atmosphere in the desert at night was truly unforgettable. Seeing the stars and planets through the telescope was magical ✨
Special thanks to Oussama, Moody, Max and Nader for making the evening even more enjoyable with their positive energy and explanations 😊
Everything felt well organized and relaxed. Definitely one of the highlights of our Hurghada trip. Highly recommended! 🏜️🔭

Great
Beautiful stargazing experience with breathtaking views and knowledgeable guides. It was fun, informative, and definitely worth doing. The only downsides were that parts of the tour felt a bit rushed, and there was quite a bit of pressure to leave a review, even days after the trip. Overall, a great experience that could be even better with a more relaxed pace and less follow-up.
