Excellent experience!!
The ride to the camp can be really bumpy and is a bit long but very fun!! The driver will give you a full experience! The stargazing site is deep in the desert(so little light pollution). There is a beduin family there and will show how they live. After stargazing (through very good telescopes) it’s dinner time. The food was very good and very tasty! All in all an excellent experience. We were very lucky because there were no clouds. Everybody ( guide pick up people and jeep drivers) is very friendly and do everything in their power to give you the best experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Niels, for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the thrilling Jeep ride, the authentic Bedouin hospitality, and the fascinating stargazing experience in the heart of the desert. We’re especially happy that the clear skies allowed you to enjoy the stars through our telescopes and that you loved the dinner. Your kind words about our guides, drivers, and pickup team mean a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to share them with everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hurghada for another memorable adventure!

Beautiful Experience
We were picked up from our hotel in the Jeep and taken towards the desert, stopped for a quick re-fuel and met up with some other groups. We then went on the crazy ride through the desert (I would say this is not suitable for eldery / young children as there are no seatbelts and it can get a little rough.) The host spoke amazing english and explained our evening, we then did a small hike to see the sunset and had photos taken before a lovely dinner, bread making demo and stargazing. With their massive telescopes we even saw the rings of Saturn! We paid £10 each (optional and they weren't pushy) for 50+ photos sent by Google Share Drive, some of which are at night with a beautiful starry sky. A 10/10 experience which we all loved - Thank You!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Aimee, for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled that you and your group enjoyed this special desert adventure, from the thrilling Jeep ride and beautiful sunset to the delicious dinner, traditional bread-making demonstration, and unforgettable stargazing. Seeing Saturn’s rings through our telescopes is certainly a magical highlight! We’re also glad you appreciated our guide’s explanations and the opportunity to capture your memories with beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing your helpful feedback about the ride as well; we’ll pass your comments on to our operations team. We truly appreciate your 10/10 recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience under Egypt’s starry sky!

Magical
Amazing Magicial Experience seeing the stars in the desert within a Bedouin Camp. Guide was extremely knowledgeable. My only feedback is the jeep ride, whilst good fun, would have loved a bit of air con considering it was cramped.

We’re delighted that you enjoyed the magical desert atmosphere, Bedouin camp, and stargazing experience, and that you appreciated the knowledge of our guide. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the Jeep ride and will share it with our operations team as we continue improving the comfort of our guests. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Authentic experience
I went for the stargazing but ended up really enjoying the village. Arabi was a fantastic guide. Friendly, funny and speaks several languages. This isn't some tourist trap village you go to. You are essentially going to someone's home. It was so interesting to see the way the people that live in the desert, how they utilize resources and the way that they support their families (what does partially our visit). The family does have a few different things that they make and you can purchase so bring maybe ten extra euro to purchase something. It was a full moon, so the stargazing part was a bit more difficult. But we did get some cool shots at the moon in a few planets. I said there's just mentioned if you know a lot about astronomy it's going to be pretty basic knowledge for you. But interesting for those of us that are beginners. An additional note on our guide Arabi, I appreciated that he didn't push for a tip. In fact the only thing he mentioned was giving a little something to the driver if we could. That was very refreshing compared to everyone else that's harassing you for money here.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Monica, for sharing such a detailed review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the Bedouin village experience and appreciated Arabi’s friendly, professional approach and multilingual skills. We’re also glad you enjoyed the moon and planet viewing despite the full moon making stargazing more challenging. Your kind words about Arabi’s respectful and genuine attitude mean a great deal to us. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience.

Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 683 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner?
+
Around 239 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hurghada: Star Watching Desert Adventure by Jeep with Dinner start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
