Average experience. Awesome guide.

It has good parts and bad parts. The good: Mahamed tge guide. Knowledgable. Real nice guy. Stars! Food. Quad bikes. Camels. Dessert. Bad: small vendors can be persistant. Too persistant. The "buggy" not really a buggy. The rides are quick, and the guy leading the quads are not the friendliest. Would i recommend it? Yes. If but only for Mohamed and the stars. That part was absolutely amazing!

Fantastic experience!!...

Great star gazing, very interesting guides! A life on a desert is so simple and so compelling at the same time...

Experience to be repeated!

My partner and I arrived in the desert in the afternoon around 3:00 PM, where Muhammad was waiting for us, our kind guide who was ready to answer all our questions. After driving the buggies, we arrived at a Bedouin tent where Muhammad explained some interesting facts about ancient Egypt to us. The program continued with quad biking and a camel ride until we returned to the Bedouin tent, where we were able to observe how Arabic bread is prepared and we also saw a pharmacy with all their medicinal herbs. We also tasted some delicious drinks like tamarind and tea. Afterward, we had dinner in the company of Muhammad and his charming personality, and we watched a show featuring traditional dances and fire eaters. After dinner, Muhammad delighted us with an astronomy lesson in the middle of the desert, showing us the stars and Saturn through the telescope and explaining various interesting facts. It is an intense experience to live, but just as exciting and full of adrenaline! We had a lot of fun and want to thank Muhammad from the bottom of our hearts for accompanying us!

Highly recommended trip, everyone is kind and with a TOP guide.

Giorgia_L, Sep 2026
Beautiful experience, we did everything that is marked on the site, except for the camels by our own ethical choice. But what made it a more unique than rare experience was our guide Mohamed, who told us about the history of Egypt in a way all his own that I must say worked great, and he also acted as a guide for the stars, truly a guy full of surprises. We never had a dull moment; it was always filled with some activity or curiosity. Furthermore, he was super kind and taught us how to write our names in Arabic and with hieroglyphics. I was truly ecstatic and would do it again.

Desert experience with action and fascinating starry skies

Alexandra_H, Feb 2026
An all-round successful experience – highly recommended! At the beginning we started with a quad tour. Afterwards we were warmly welcomed, served tea and given interesting insights into the life of the Bedouins and their traditions. Afterwards we had the opportunity to try a short camel ride. There was also a tent with various animals such as turtles, a monkey, birds as well as snakes and two small scorpions. It was interesting to see these animals up close, even if this program item was not absolutely necessary for us personally. Afterwards, the jeep tour began: We were allowed to drive the jeeps ourselves while a guide drove ahead and led the group – that was really fun and a real adventure. In the evening we had a very delicious meal with an atmospheric show and music. The finale was a view through the telescope of the Moon and the stars. We got a lot of exciting information about the starry sky – very impressive and interesting. In the end, the quad bike was back – a varied and eventful day with many special impressions.

Action alternative to beach holidays

RumeysaSimge_B, Dec 2025
Hamid our guide was very dedicated, told us a lot about the Bedouins and the starry sky. You could tell that he knows the subject well and reported with passion. Unfortunately, it was a little short of time for stargazing. The food was very delicious, the people very nice, all in all a successful day.

Très bonne expérience

Dominique_S, Nov 2024
Merci Arabi de nous avoir transmis ta passion. Ciel incroyable, pas de pollution lumineuse, beau matériel. Nous avons eu beaucoup de chance car nous étions que deux et Arabi a adapté le programme à nos souhaits.

Sehr empfehlenswert

Der Tripp war super. Mit den Ausflügen unterstützt man außerdem Beduinen-Familien, was klasse ist. Das Essen war hervorragend! Lediglich die Zeit zum Sterne beobachten mit dem Teleskop war viel zu kurz. Auch gab es noch ziemlich viel Restlicht im Umkreis von 20-30 km. Daher hat man nicht die Menge an Sternen gesehen, wie bei kompletter Dunkelheit. Die Gesamtdauer des Ausflugs war leider auch ein bisschen kurz.
