Description

Escape the busy city and discover the peaceful beauty of the Egyptian desert on this unique sunset and stargazing experience from Hurghada. Your journey begins with hotel pickup around 4:30 PM, followed by a scenic drive of approximately one hour into the desert landscapes surrounding Hurghada. Upon arrival, your guide will lead you on a short mountain climb to a panoramic viewpoint where you can watch the sunset over the Eastern Desert. Enjoy the calm atmosphere, fresh desert air, and incredible colors as the sun disappears behind the mountains. After descending from the mountain, relax in an authentic Bedouin camp where local Bedouins will welcome you with traditional bread freshly prepared on-site, Bedouin tea, cheese, and Egyptian molasses. Experience genuine desert hospitality while learning more about Bedouin life and traditions. As darkness falls and the desert sky becomes clear, begin the highlight of the evening — a guided stargazing session far away from the city lights. Using professional telescopes, observe stars, planets, and constellations while your astronomy guide shares fascinating information about the night sky, astronomy, and ancient desert navigation. Following the stargazing experience, return comfortably by vehicle to Hurghada with hotel drop-off expected around 10:00 PM.
