    Incredible trip but take extra cash!

    This was a great family experience. The quad bikes were fun and the jeep safari through the desert was exciting. The camel ride was a fav with all of us. The bedouin bbq was tasty with a good selection of food. The stargazing was incredible, I have never seen so many stars. A really special day out. Be careful of additional costs. The quads needed scarfs and goggles. These were 4 and 3 euros respectively. The transfer was an additional 5 euros each from makadi and to get the photos from the professional photographer was another 30 euros.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a memorable experience and enjoyed the quad biking, jeep safari, camel ride, delicious Bedouin BBQ, and the unforgettable stargazing. It means a lot to us that you described it as a really special day. Thank you as well for mentioning the optional extra costs. We always aim to be transparent, and items such as scarves, goggles, professional photos, and transfers from certain areas (like Makadi Bay) are optional or location-dependent and are clearly communicated before or during the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back for another amazing adventure with E.T.O Travels on your next visit to Egypt!

    A must trip for the stars

    Jonah was great at driving the jeep. He made it wild and bumpy with good music. Arabi was a great guide at the beduoin tribe where we saw how they made bread, crops grown, herbal medicine. Had a fab view for the sunset then we saw stars and planets both through telescope and by eye. He is so so knowledgeable on the stars. Dinner was okay but not for everyone. Do take bug spray if going. Oh and we had short camel ride with fab photos

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing and detailed feedback! We’re really happy to hear that you had such a memorable experience. Jonah will be delighted to know you enjoyed the exciting jeep ride and the great music — sounds like a fun adventure! It’s also wonderful to hear your kind words about Arabi. His knowledge about the Bedouin lifestyle, herbs, and especially the stars truly makes the experience special, and we’re glad you enjoyed the sunset, stargazing, and telescope views. Thank you as well for your honest note about the dinner and helpful tip about bringing bug spray — this will definitely help future guests. We’re glad you enjoyed the camel ride and captured some beautiful photos too We hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable trip with E.T.O TRAVELS!

    Don’t miss this experience!

    This was an amazing experience! Great experience for the value! Miso was the best tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the star gazing aspect and made it fun and interesting! Make sure you bring something warm as the desert gets very cold at night. The food was unexpectedly good and they had professional photographers to document your time there.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are truly happy to hear that you had such an amazing experience and that the trip offered great value for you. It’s especially nice to know that Miso made the experience even more enjoyable with his knowledge about the stars and his fun way of explaining everything during the stargazing. 🌌✨ The desert nights can indeed get quite cold, so your advice about bringing something warm will definitely help future guests. We are also glad that you enjoyed the food and the professional photography that helps capture those special desert moments. 📸🏜️ Thank you again for choosing E.T.O TRAVELS Hurghada. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable adventure in Egypt! 🇪🇬✨

    It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either.

    We went for a stargazing experience but it started off with being thrown around in a jeep crossing the desert for a hour with overly loud music constantly playing. The drive wasn’t enjoyable at all. When we arrived at the village we had a 3-4 minute camel ride and then climb up a rocky mound to watch the sunset. We were shown into a tent to see a lady making flat bread and advised we could tip her. We then went into a tent where they had traditional medicines for us to purchase. We had a very nice diner at the camp but were then advised we could tip the people who lived in the camp. We watched the moon but didn’t see many starts in the sky at all to be honest. We set off back across the desert on a one hour drive again and were advised we could tip the driver. People need to realise that tourists aren’t walking ATM’s. Overall the diner was nice but the rest of the trip was not what we’d imagined it would be.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Good afternoon, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your recent stargazing experience. We truly value your comments, as they help us to continually improve our programs and services. We’re very sorry to hear that some parts of the trip did not meet your expectations. The off-road desert drive is indeed part of the adventure experience, but we fully understand that it can feel uncomfortable for some guests, and we will review the driving style and music volume with our team to ensure a more pleasant journey in the future. Regarding the tipping situations, we sincerely apologize if this made you feel uncomfortable. Tipping is always voluntary, and we will remind all staff and partners to make this clear to every guest. We are, however, pleased to hear that you enjoyed the dinner at the camp, and we hope that this part of the evening brought you some enjoyment despite the other concerns. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will make sure to address these points carefully so that future guests have a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Thank you again for sharing your honest opinion — it truly helps us improve. We hope we may have the chance to welcome you again in the future for a more relaxing and satisfying experience. Kind regards.

    A pleasant experience but a bit unorganised.

    It started out with good expectations, the ATV ride was enjoyable and the staff pleasant after which we were transferred to the desert camp for the camel ride and stargazing this is where it became a bit unraveled the English speaking guide was not present and we were left to the German speaking guide to escort us and we found it impossible to take things in not speaking German, the saving grace was the arrival if late of the English guide who was very knowledgeable. I would have given 5 Stars if all had gone smoothly.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the ATV ride and found our staff pleasant and helpful. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during the camel ride and stargazing portion of your tour. It’s unfortunate that our English-speaking guide was not available at the start — we completely understand how this affected your experience. We’re glad our English guide was eventually able to join and make the rest of your evening enjoyable. Your comments have been shared with our team to ensure better coordination and communication so this doesn’t happen again. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a seamless, 5-star experience next time. Warm regards,

    Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.

    How much does Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Safaga is not rushed.

    Is Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin 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 Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner?

    +

    Around 14 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 Safaga 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 Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin 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 Safaga 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 Safaga?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Full day trip to Luxor with littel Group & Tutankhamun Tomb, Authentic Hurghada Experience with Private Guide & Local 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 Safaga?

    +

    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 Safaga?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner?

    +

    Included: GPS District Telescope (Meade); Amazing complete Star gazing experience + Professional High Qualified Tour Guide and Astro; Barbeque Bedouin Dinner Open Buffets with Water & Soft Drink; Sunset views from Hurghada Magical Desert; and Hotel to Hotel Services (All Transfer By Land Cruiser Jeep safari ).

    Is Stargazing in Hurghada Desert with Bedouin Dinner wheelchair or stroller accessible?
