You can save yourself the trouble.
So much for candlelight dinners. Mass tourism is a better description. The pickup was on time, but then we were sent off at breakneck speed into the desert in very uncomfortable jeeps, crammed into the back seats. A dozen other jeeps met there, so there were over a hundred people. The organization was very slow due to the number of people, even though the guides tried very hard. We looked through a telescope for 30 seconds each and had very mediocre food - luckily it was dark. 30 m camel rides for a tip.

Expérience cauchemardesque! À éviter! Tenez-vous loins de cette compagnie.
Expérience horrible! A éviter ABSOLUMENT. Arrive 1h30 en retard car se sont trompés d’hôtel. Pas de tour de chameau. Nous force à payer 20$US de plus dans le désert sinon ne nous ramène pas a l’hôtel. Aucune considération de l’équipe. Guide non-présent pour nous aider car supposément malade. Employé hausse le ton, condescendant. Quand nous demandons un remboursement au retour, opérateur nous mentionne qu’il ne fera rien pour nous dédommager.

Watching the stars, seeing through the telescope and meeting new friends even though it was cloudy it was amazing

Super great trip! Definitely recommended!!!
The jeep tour was really amazing. The driver Mustafa is really good and our German-speaking guide Arabi was super nice and explained everything to us really well. A great guide! Now we know a lot about the starry sky and how we would find our way at night using the starry sky. It was also very interesting to see how the Bedouins live and the food was fantastic. We would book it again anytime.

Perfect birthday treat.
I booked this trip for my husbands 60th and it was really special. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the desert where we met up with several other jeeps full of people. About 10 in each. After introductions we then experienced a full on jeep safari going quite fast across the desert before arriving at the bedouin village for tea and a look around. We could have camel rides and walk up a mountain to watch the sun set. Beautiful. Then came food and the star gazing. The highlight of the evening. Moussa was exceptionally knowledgeable and the telescopes incredible. It was fascinating. A really well organised and exciting trip that I would highly recommend.

White knuckle jeep ride, great star viewing.
The stars, telescope views of Saturn and the meal in the desert were great. However the jeep safari was a bit wild for my wife and daughter. It would be good if the advert made it clear that this is a white knuckle jeep safari unsuitable for the travel sick.

Stars and sand
Lovely afternoon and evening. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable especially Arabi. The driver Mohammad was lots of fun too.
It was amazing looking through the telescope and seeing the moon and Saturn.
We also paid 10Euro and had some photos taken. They were great fun and a lovely reminder of a great day.
The food was good and there was lots of it.

Recomendable
Muy recomendable, íbamos con la duda de si nos gustaría o no, y nos encantó! Es una actividad sencilla pero esta chula, vas en jeep al desierto, fuimos con Tariq de conductor y fue súper agradable y atento todo el tiempo, nos tocó el mejor conductor! , conoces la vida beduina, ves el atardecer allí que es precioso y luego vimos al estrellas, la pena que es día que fuimos había nubes y vimos muy poquitas, pero aún así pudimos ver algo, la única pega que pondría es que nos hicieron fotos y nos dijeron que por 5€ por cabeza nos ls enviaban, nos pareció buena idea pero la verdad fue un poco tirar el dinero, fueron 8 fotos contadas, eso sí os recomiendo que no lo cojáis, es una actividad para pasar el rato, nos gustó mucho.

Transport en VUS horrible
La prise en charge était 1h plus tôt que prévue. Ce qui m'a laissé 1h entre mon arriver à Hurghada et l'activité.
J'ai détesté le trajet en VUS. Zéro confort et peu d'espace pour les jambes. Une fois rendu à un point de rassemblement et avant de remonter dans le VUS, on m'a empêché de monter à bord et on fait passer les autres occupants devant moi. Je me suis retrouvé à l'arrière du véhicule coincer contre la porte. En direction vers le désert, le conducteur c'est fait un malin plaisir de secouer le véhicule et de prendre des virages pour soi-disant amuser les passagers. Ce qui n'était pas du tout amusant, conte tenu que j'ai subit des ecchymoses au genou et au bras.
Ayant des problèmes de santé, j'aurais voulu qu'on me demande mon avis et surtout qu'on me laisse m'asseoir ou je veux. Le retour était pareil, mais moins intense.
Le reste de l'activité c'est bien déroulé. L'astronome Moussa était très compétant et amical.

Disaster
Absolute nightmare, no sense of organisation, giving lifts to men on the way back and making ladies uncomfortable at the back, language skills zero.
