Traveler reviews
Great afternoon/evening trip 😁
Picked up from hotel in a dusty, old vehicle which was pulled in by security..this then delayed us (he did drive like the clappers then!) joining the other jeep at a service station for the trek (25 miles) across the desert ..our vehicle was a genuine Bedouin jeep type vehicle ..again built for the desert ..dusty with no seatbelts nor air conditioning with 5 of us (including 1 child) crammed in with the photographer for the day ..the lumps and bumps were a novelty at first.. we met with our guide who was brilliant and very enthusiastic about the area/his stargazing knowledge was awesome and we had great views of the moon and other planets with his large telescope ..we also climbed some rocks to watch the amazing sunset ..then a 'feast' by candlight.. we passed on that as the washing hand facilities were not apparent and someone pointed out that the chicken was pink and not safe to eat ..our guide was informed.. All in all a great experience and the pics were amazing..but perhaps leave the buffet alone .... We met some of the Beduoin community .. And their the camels ..so it really felt like the real thing and not staged ..just be aware and don't risk spoiling a holiday with the buffet .(.or keep it meat free ) ..and take a pack of moist tissues with you !
Everything was super
Thanks a lot to Arabi our guide
Stars gazing with astronomer Dawod
Great experience with best astronomer Dawod
Breathtaking
A great excursion that was well organized. Our guide Arabi comes highly recommended - he spoke excellent German and was happy to answer all our questions. The family in the visited Bedouin village was very warm, especially the two little children. The food was very delicious and was enjoyed under the starry sky. The starry sky was simply wow. You don't often get to see something like this. Thank you for this wonderful excursion.
Great overall experience
The tour was great. Really well organised. Communication before and during the tour was excellent. The pick up from Soma Bay worked well. We had a lovely trip, the driver and guides were all helpful and considerate and Nasser was really knowledgeable and helpful when explaining about the stars. The camel ride and horse ride were fun and learning about the lifestyle, the herbs and cooking of the flat breads was really interesting. The buffet dinner was also good.
