  • One of the most peaceful and beautiful evenings we had in Hurghada. The jeep ride was exciting, the desert scenery was stunning, and the star guide explained everything clearly. Dinner was very good.

  • Be prepared for this tour which has a 1 1/4 hour ride in a Toyota Land Cruiser cramped with 11 people on uncomfortable seats on dirty and very bumpy road. Wind will be the only air conditioning. You will feel whether it is really worth the trip. But at the end, the tour was very pleasant. Camel ride will be symbolic 10 min only. Food quality will be low with men portioning the meat. Sunset watching will be from a small hill and not as good as watching from your beach hotel. But the night stargazing was the highlight of the tour. For the first time, I saw craters on the moon, Saturn’s thin ring, and Jupiter’s stripes. Photographer was great in shooting pictures of us with hundreds of stars. You really don’t want to save money here. With all of the complaints, I still like the tour for unforgettable memories. Btw, it was super cold in desert at night. You will regret if you don’t wear for winter.

  • This was an okay trip. Unfortunately being at the back of the jeep meant I got very unwell with the motion sickness. They took really good care of me when I popped up to ask for them to slow down a little. But I did mean I didn't feel 100% for the remainder of the trip. There was a lot of waiting around unfortunately. They could have timed pick up a good hour later and been slicker with coordinating us to the star gazing site. A fun trip though. Be advised, if at all in pain in the back or legs do not book this. It's a fairly brutal day out on the body.

  • 旅程一开始并不是很愉快。我们订的是下午2点半从酒店出发,结果下午1点半就收到电话催我们赶快集合,语气并不好。我们匆匆出门,然后依次接上其他人(jeep车坐8人),开到了一处进沙漠的大转盘集合,然后接着等其他车和人……足足等了一个多小时!!(如果按照定好的时间,共同遵守,也不至于多等很长时间) 接着是1个小时左右的穿越沙砾荒漠,很颠簸刺激,因为完全没有正经路……到了营地之后,按照预定好的流程,体验骑骆驼(5分钟),看“原住民”烙饼,推销清凉油,手工艺品等……然后带到一个小山坡上等日落,拍拍照……我们看过很多次更好看,体验更好的日落,所以觉得很一般……日落大概在4点半左右,被远处更高的山遮住后,就有点降温了。然后继续流程,围坐着,发矿泉水,喝茶,原住民合唱了“民歌”,点蜡烛,排队打饭……吃完才到观星🔭 观星部分是我觉得最棒的地方!先是排队通过望远镜看土星和月亮,导游会用射灯告诉对应的星。看完后导游接着介绍星体运行和四季变换的基本规律,重点认出几个星座或者亮星,就能判断东南西北和季节,这在早期算是非常基本而且重要的生存技能之一了!(Tip: 可以提前下载一个观星app,我下的是sky guide,把手机镜头朝向天空,屏幕上会显现该方位目前的星座。对着app看星空,对新手很友好,而且很有趣!) 整体给到3.5分吧……如果有下次,我不想再骑骆驼,以及观看原住民烙饼……
