Not what I expected
It wasn’t what I expected. The sunset and the sky view was nothing special, the telescopes were basic and the dinner was regular. The best thing was the jeep ride and the driver.

It was worth it 👍🏻
It was a great experience. Our leader was called Arabi and made a lot of effort to explain everything and make us laugh at the same time. Thank you all.

Excellent unique experience
This was an incredible and special experience. Although you don't get to interact much with the villagers, you learn about their lifestyle and a lot about the stars. You also get to spend meditative time in the desert . Moussa, our guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. The driver, Tarek, was also excellent.

Night under the stars
The trip is definitely a experience and a must-do, especially for the price we paid. In the beginning we had problems with the pick-up but we forgot about it mid trip. Actually, I think I forgot about it while we drove to the bedouins. The jeep drive was a rollercoaster; left, right, up, down, at some point I was in the air for a few seconds. Personally, I thought it was so much fun😂 After we arrived at the bedouins we got two options: we could ride camels or/ and go up the hill to watch the sunset. Going up the hill is exhausting but it's worth it for the sunset! The food was okay-ish, the rice was pretty good but the rest wasn't to my liking. Nonetheless, the star gazing was overwhelming. A sight I won't forget so easily.
