It was a great trip going to the dessert visiting Beduins and Stargazing with the big telescope. We had a pickup from our hotel in Marsa Alam with private driver and a great guide who was able to speak French, German and English.

Harabi, our professional guide, has been wanderful.
He drove us to the bedouin tent at padi valley. We had a welcome drink of “bedouin tea” and Harabi gave us so much information about bedouins simple life: this is a rock desert, not a sand one, and they are 'sedentary Bedouins', then do not expect a 'Lawrence d'Arabia' set here: we watched how the bedouins make their bread over a campfire, and a beautiful view of the sunset.
People here are very genuine, and extremely kind, we spend also some minutes on a camel for a short but really nice trip.
Then we enjoyed a delicious freshly prepared bedouin dinner, an incredible way of cooking meal 'undergroud', slowly and slowly, and the result was delicious.
After diner we had a very great time to explore the sky with Haraby, that is a really professional astronomer: he told us about all the twelve zodiacal constellations in front of us, teaching how to recognise the polar star, the milky way, spectacular wiews, giving us so many information, he's really a passionate astronomer and you can feel it: all this having a wanderful view through his big professional telescopes.
Thanx Harabi, hoping to come back soon to see the stars in the desert!

The Marsa Alam star gazing trip isn’t a fancy touristic trip in which a big crowds needs to visit a Bedouin village and do some star gazing all along.
The Bedouin village is simple and the visitors are a nice extra for the family.
The trip contains everything: welcome tea, ride on a camel, walk around the village including fresh baked flat bread, walk through the herd of sheep and goats, watching the sunset, a typical diner and the star gazing.
What makes it special is the relaxed approach. Our guide, Nasser, is very talkative and hospitable. The diner is just fine, but what made it special was the slow cooking of all ingredients in the ground oven!
The star gazing was good with the proper telescope and the extensive explanation by Nasser on stars and constellations.
The organizer Moussa is very communicative via WhatsApp and was very flexible when we wanted to change the date when it turned out to be very cloudy on our scheduled date.
