About this Tour
Desert Safari and Stargazing Hurghada
Experience the perfect combination of adventure, culture, and relaxation on this unforgettable Desert Safari and Stargazing Hurghada tour. Spend an evening exploring the spectacular Eastern Desert, meeting local Bedouins, enjoying a traditional dinner, and observing the stars through a telescope.
First, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Hurghada in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Depending on your hotel location and the number of scheduled pickup stops, the transfer to the desert meeting point takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
Jeep Adventure Through the Eastern Desert
Next, arrive at the desert checkpoint and begin an exciting jeep journey across the rugged mountains and golden desert landscapes.
The off-road drive lasts approximately 35 minutes and offers fantastic views of the Eastern Desert. Along the way, enjoy the peaceful scenery before reaching the traditional Bedouin camp.
Because the desert roads are naturally uneven, the ride may be bumpy at times, adding to the authentic safari experience.
Visit a Traditional Bedouin Camp
Upon arrival, receive a warm Bedouin welcome with traditional tea or a refreshing hibiscus drink.
While relaxing at the camp, you'll learn about Bedouin traditions, daily life, and desert culture. Afterward, take some free time to explore the camp, enjoy the tranquil surroundings, and capture beautiful photographs before sunset.
As the sun disappears behind the mountains, admire one of the most memorable desert sunsets in Hurghada.
Candlelight Dinner in the Desert
As evening begins, enjoy a freshly prepared candlelight dinner served at the Bedouin camp.
The peaceful desert atmosphere creates the perfect setting to relax while enjoying a delicious meal beneath the open sky.
Stargazing Experience
Finally, the evening concludes with a guided stargazing session.
Using a professional telescope, observe stars, planets, and other celestial objects while your guide provides a simple introduction to constellations and the night sky. This astronomy experience takes place after dinner and completes your unforgettable desert adventure.

This excursion was amazing
This excursion was amazing, all the staff members were very friendly and aimed to do all they can to give you the best experience possible. Our guide was multilingual and have explained everything to each of us in languages we could understand which goes to show how much they care about their customers. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to have a calm evening with their loved ones but please be aware of the back problem warning (although they will adjust the speed/bumps for you) Thank you Rafi and his great team!
