Wouldn't do it again
Was disappointing. We were told we would be picked up at 2 from our hotel. They were about 15 minutes late. Eventually we had 8 of us in the back of the jeep which was just two benches either side. The space was so minimal that you had to sit with legs weaved in between each other to get any comfort. We were driving for over 2 hours so it was a horribly uncomfortable ride.
The desert was gorgeous and there is a photographer who will happily give you a photoshoot for €10. The sunset was cool, but the mountains it set behind were too high to get the cool colours before you come back down.
Dinner was nice, not a fan of the crockery, seems un environmentally friendly.
I did not like the English guide at all. He spoke like he had no respect for the village people, it made me feel uncomfortable, we were in their home. Also, when we were having the talk about the stars, he talked really fast and without much interest in what he was saying. The people who did not speak English as a first language had asked him to slow down as they couldn't understand and he did for about 10 seconds then resumed talking way too quickly.
There were too many people in a line to look through the telescope so that took a really long time. Looking through the telescope was underwhelming, it was just a bright shiny dot slightly bigger than the one I could see with my own eyes.
The German speaking guide was awesome though. I really liked him and the guy who was in control of the telescope.
We arrived back at our hotel at around 9:30pm. Knowing how long the journey there and back would be, I would not have thought this worth it and would not have booked it.

Activité touristique « de base ». Donc moyen, mais coucher de soleil exceptionnel et beau ciel étoilé.
Magnifique coucher de soleil et plein belle vue nocturne avec des commentaires utiles.
La visite de la ferme et le « safari » sont ok; rien de particulier, mais sympathique pour les enfants,
Activité typique calibrée pour le touriste moyen auquel on se plie volontiers si on a des enfants.

Enge rit, niet voor angsthazen !!
De rit naar de woestijn in de landcruiser was super eng en verschrikkelijk! Nergens houvast achterin de auto en geen veiligheidsgordels. We werden met ons zevenen rondgeslingerd tijdens de gekke off-road trip door woestijnduinen. Verbazingwekkend genoeg zijn we niet gecrasht of gewond geraakt.
Eenmaal op de sterrenwachtende bedoeïenenlocatie keken we naar de zonsondergang, aten wat en keken daarna naar de sterren. Onze gids was zeer goed geïnformeerd over de nachtelijke hemel.
Maar de hele woestijntijd was erg gehaast.

Overall we had an amazing time and there was a good atmosphere
Wild ging es los mit einem Off-Road Trip mit dem Jeep durch die Wüste. Wer mochte, konnte beim ersten Halt auf einem Kamel reiten, weiter ging es bei orientalischen Klänge und gut gelaunten Fahrern zu einer Beduinen Familie, die uns mit Tee begrüßte. Nassir, unser Übersetzer, erzählte uns viel wissenswertes über Gepflogenheiten und das Leben der Beduinen. Wir stiegen auf eine Anhöhe und konnten den Sonnenuntergang über den Bergen bewundern. Ein junger, talentierter Fotograf nahm auf Wunsch Bilder auf, die man sich für 10 Euro schicken lassen kann per link. Die Beduinen hatten inzwischen ein abwechslungsreiches Abendessen vorbereitet, das wir bei Kerzenschein genießen konnten. Anschließend erklärte uns Nassir die Sterne am Nachthimmel. Mir und meinem Teenager hat es richtig gut gefallen, auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

Worth the money!!
This is a review for April 5th. From start to beginning! Our tour guide was very nice and a people person. He explained everything with details to the point you wanted to listen to him. I’m glad we had him.

Decent experience
A great afternoon/evening where the staff were very friendly and helpful. The knowledge of the man who did the guide to stargazing was excellent.
The drive to the Bedouin settlement was a bit nervy, we were on a very old jeep with benches against the inside of the vehicle with no seatbelts. The driver also did not wear his seatbelt and driving through the sand he went very fast, taking little care over corners or bumps so we had to grip the roll cage to stop from flying all over the van.
The food provided was nice and a glass of pepsi was provided, but they charged extra if you wanted any fresh juices.
We were bitten to pieces by the biting flies - take insect repellent spray with you.

All taking charged of. Try it
Good experience overall. They maximized the time you spend with them. The driver who took us to the activity had some anger issue though. He yelled at other tourists because he was waiting for them at the wrong place. 😬😬😬 .. need to be worked on.

Fantastic tour!
Adam was a fantastic guide, really nice guy and speaks perfect English. The star gazing was so so pretty, so many stars and constellations, and again Adam pointed all of these out for us to see. We had dinner in the Bedouin camp and had a sing and dance around the campfire while the sun set, this was a really nice touch. The jeep ride was quite bumpy, but this just added more fun to the experience! Highly recommend anyone who wants to see the beautiful night sky in the desert to do this tour. Thank you Adam!

Escursione favolosa
Abbiamo acquistato questo tour nonostante non ci fosse una guida italiana, l’unico vero peccato infatti è stato non comprendere tutto, ma è anche una nostra pecca. Ha una durata complessiva di circa 6-7h da quando ti prelevano in albergo. tutto il team compresa la guida, era molto gentile. Come prima tappa ti fanno fare un giro a cammello, ma breve, di 5 min. Dopodiché inizia il bello, Il percorso nel deserto in jeep è stato memorabile perché avevamo un autista spericolato, abbiamo cavalcato le dune a tutta velocità e siamo morti dalle risate. Giunti al villaggio, siamo stati accolti dai beduini che vivono lì, carinissimi. la cena e il tramonto top, mentre fa buio il clima diventa davvero suggestivo, e la spiegazione di astronomia al calare del buio, molto dettagliata. Prezzo davvero basso, Lo riferai sicuramente
