Poor group separation, led to us missing the sunset. Poor communication and organisation.
Poor grouping of tourist. We were put in a group that were on a different experience and therefore when it was time for the activities we could not go with our group. It felt like we were being excluded, there was poor communication and felt like the guide was prioritising certain people over others. Sunset experience was missed.

Lived up to all the Promises
The visit was very good. Our driver took us over the dunes - although there was a flatter option - to have a better off-road experience. Guide managed to inform all three language groups in engaging, humorous way. Dinner was fine. Star gazing was out of this world excellent.

Great star gazing tour with great people
We booked a stargazing tour into the desert with Egyptra Travel Service and it fullfilled all our expectations. Excellent communication and response time, punctual pickup with a proffesional and save driver and vehicle, and a very good guide (Arabi was very friendly and full of valuable knowledge, open to all questions and with very good skills in German and English). The visit to the Bedouin village (including a very informative and detailed tour) as well as watching the sunset from a nearby mountain was an unforgettable experience. Not to forget the star gazing itself which was vey good to. First we got the possibility to watch Saturn and Jupiter during moderntelescopes with good visual quality. Afterwards our guide explained the star sky and shared a lot of fantastic knowledge.
