I was picked up from and dropped off at my hotel hassle free. Hassan was an incredible guide, very passionate about giving people a great desert experience. The villagers were lovely welcoming people. I enjoyed the handmade bread and the entire dinner experience was beautiful. Sunset and stars - wow wow wow! I highly recommend this tour.

alles was goed, alleen dr maaltijd was gewoon slecht. in het programma stond ren bbq, maar we kregrn 2 koude worstjes en een hompje koude kip. er was ook een tekort aan eten. xo was er amper nog salade over en de saus voor over de rijst was al op voor wij aan de beurt waren. we hebben dus droge rijst gegeten. ronduit slecht dus.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen und abenteuerlichen Ausflug! Die Fahrt mit dem Jeep durch die Wüste war spannend und toll. Unser Guide (Hasan) hat viel erzählt und sich viel Zeit für die Gruppe genommen. Die Gruppe war mit 8 Personen recht klein. Wir haben mit unseren Kindern (6 und 8 Jahre) den Ausflug gemacht. Die Kinder konnten an allen Aktivitäten teilnehmen.

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip! It’s a great mix of adventure and culture — ATVs through the desert, a Jeep 4x4 ride over the dunes, a beautiful sunset, BBQ dinner, and stargazing with telescopes far away from the city lights. Everything was well organized and each stop was short, sweet, and perfectly timed so the experience stayed fun the entire time. Our guide Araby was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the stars and explained how ancient Egyptians used them for navigation and understanding the world around them. Standing in the desert at night listening to those stories while looking up at the sky was honestly pretty magical. Camel rides are also available if you want to add a little extra desert experience. If you're visiting the Harghada area and want something adventurous but also memorable, I highly recommend this tour!

Ein abwechslungsreicher Tag mit einem sehr positiv motivierten Guide. Die Sternbeobachtung war mit unserem Astrologen überaus informativ und das Highlight. Der Kamelritt hat viel Spaß gemacht und es wurden auch Fotos mit dem eigenen Handy gemacht. Wir sind bei Sonnenuntergang auf den Berg gestiegen und hatten eine großartige Aussicht. Das Essen ging so. Es gibt so schöne Alabaster Windlichter, warum nimmt man abgeschnittene Plastikflaschen? Leider war unser Pickup eine Katastrophe. Der Herr kam 45 Minuten zu spät und versuchte diese dann von Quseir nach Hurghada einzufahren. Ich hatte noch nie soviel Angst und habe ihn mehrfach gebeten langsamer zu fahren, ohne Erfolg. Der Mann gehört nicht mit Touristen auf die Straße.

Islam és Radwan kiváló vezetői voltak a napnak :) Nagyon jó hangulatban telt a nap. Islam megmutatott egy gyönyörű kilátással rendelkező hegyet és Radwan nagyon sok hasznos dolgot mesélt a beduinokról. Nagyon jól éreztük magunkat. Köszönjük mégegyszer 😊 “ Safari Ferrari “ üdv., Magyarországról

la nostra guida rwand è stata fantastica. abbiamo avuto modo di vedere dei panorami davvero bellissimi e incredibili e vedere il deserto circostante e scoprire la cultura locale degli abitanti del deserto. davvero consigliato! unica cosa è da valutare davvero bene il meteo prima di prenotare così da avere la visibilità migliore per il tramonto e le stelle
