A Stargazing Universe tour that sends you through the stars and living as the Bedouin do for a night with amazing sunsets.
We had the most amazing time on this tour! We were picked up promptly at our hotel and made our way out to the desert. My friend an I got to sit on the Jeep roof which was awesome! After surviving the sand dunes we arrived at the Bedouin Village where we were warmly welcomed by the traditional Bedouin tea. We learnt about the Bedouin people and how they lived which was fascinating! We got a chance to either take photos with the camels or to have a quick ride, after being on one for over 4 hours on our Cairo tour I passed at the opportunity this time. We then made a short trek up some very rustic stone stairs to the top of the highest dune. We there watched the most incredible sunset over the desert with colours warming the sky leaving most of the group breatheless. We then returned to the Bedouin Village were we enjoyed looking through proper star gazing telescopes where we got to marverl at Juiper and Venus and millions of stars, we then enjoyed an amazing Dinner prepared by the Bedouin. The hospitality of this community left me in awe and completely humbled. A huge thank you to our guides for the most incredible tour yet. To our Astrometry guides Mamdou and Araby, thank you for taking us across the universe and showing us the ways of the Bedouin. And to our Driver Tarek, thank you for making our adventure extra special and playing awesome music on the way back to our Hotel.

Super tour for pictures - 10/10 points
Super pleasant tour. Were picked up by jeep at 3pm and arrived after about 45min at the Hinterweltlerdorf. On site were then 2 camels for horseback riding and taking pictures. In addition, cats / dogs and goats were on site. Afterwards we went up a mountain there and took great pictures at sunset. After that we had something to eat and an astrotour with 2 telescopes. At 8/9pm we were back. Totally pleasant guide (Arab) and driver (Kevin) had. It's best to always have 1/2$ tip with you for the boys - happy about it. Price performance tiptop and totally relaxed everything has been.

exciting encounter with the Bedouins
The trip was nice to see the life of the Bedouins. Looking at the stars briefly but interestingly, I had hoped for something more. Also to be able to see more planets than just one and the moon through the telescope. Further we left the desert again before it was really quite dark, that was a shame.
It is stated that the tour is in German, but it was not. The vehicles are equipped with cross benches, the journey through them desert I had imagined differently.

Enjoyable tour, but could be improved by spending longer with camels
The tour is ok. Seeing the camels is ok, but it would be nice to walk around with the camel for longer, instead of going around for 10 metres, and then forcing the animal to kneel up and down all the time. The jeep over the dunes is fun. Once you arrive at the destination you can look around the desert and see the stars. To make it an even better experience I would suggest more time spent with the camels.

Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, wirklich sehr zu empfehlen! Die Fahrt war sehr abenteuerlich und nichts für einen empflindlichen Magen.

Amazing night sky and dinner
Despite a late start this was a great trip. Kevin the 4x4 driver knew what he was doing and took us over the sand dunes. Perfect sunset at the top of a hill. The Berber dinner was excellent, possibly the best food we have eaten this week. Now to the main event, Mousa was an excellent, knowledgeable and entertaining guide to the amazing stars. You could sense his passion and his ability to help you see into the night sky. Great trip….strongly recommended

Très bonne expérience
Très bonne expérience.
Notre guide parlais Arabi était super et parlais très bien anglais et allemand. Nous arrivions bien à le comprendre.
Nous sommes parti dans un 4x4, nous étions 9 passagers à l'arrière un peu serré et pas climatisé mais c'était tout à fait supportable et non dérangeant au mois de février, lorsqu'il fait plus chaud cela doit être plus compliqué.
Nous avons fait environ 30min de route ainsi puis nous sommes arrivés dans le désert.
De la le chauffeur nous a demandé si on était d'accord pour prendre les bosses rapidement dans le désert. Expérience très fun et surprenante mais attention je ne recommande pas aux personnes ayant un mal de dos car cela n'a pas duré longtemps mais très intense.
Arrivé dans le village Bedoin, nous avons été accueilli par la famille où le thé nous a été offert ainsi qu'une démonstration de la préparation de leur pain, très intéressants.
Nous pouvions ensuite monter sur le dos d'un chameau par groupe de deux pour 10min (super expérience à vivre en couple !) sans aucun supplément et nous avons demandé à notre guide de prendre des photos et ils nous a gentiment suivi toute la balade pour nous photographier 😂☺️.
Ensuite Arabi nous a parlé du mode de vie des Bédouins, discussion très intéressante.
Il y a ensuite eu un temps mort on l'on a du attendre, un peu long c'est pourquoi je met 4 étoiles.
Le dîner dans le désert avec les bougies et très bon barbecue avec plein de choses --> excellent moment.
Admirer le couché du soleil dans le désert est sympa aussi.
Enfin nous avons pu voir les étoiles au télescopes et avoir des explications sur les étoiles très intéressantes également.
Nous ne sommes pas rentrés tard ce qui était plaisant. (19h)
Je recommande.
