Itinerary
Hotel Pick-up and Stargazing
The trip starts from your hotel in Hurghada. Be ready at the agreed time at the hotel lobby, the Golavita driver will pick you up with a jeep heading to the desert.
Jeep Trip Through the Desert
It's almost sunset; the Jeep drives through the desert, leaving you the chance to contemplate and enjoy the majestic view of the sunset in the unique Egyptian desert.
The color of the sunset and its spread that covers the desert and its terrain make you amazed by all this natural beauty. Enjoy the road and the unique view with stops in different places to watch the beauty of the sunset and take panoramic photos of it.
Camel Riding
Now is the time for a new experience in the Egyptian desert. You can't come to the desert and not try riding a camel. It's a fun and relaxing experience that makes you feel more integrated with the desert environment around you. Ride a camel for a short trip before arriving at the next experience.
Bedouin Camp
To complete the experience of merging with the desert around you, join a Bedouin camp where you will learn more about the quiet Bedouin life and hear from your guide about the daily life of the Bedouins and some of their beliefs and traditions.
Also, try the original taste of Bedouin tea as you have never tasted before, and enjoy a special dinner at the Bedouin buffet.
Hotel Drop-off
It's the time you've been waiting for. After nightfall, dinner, and Bedouin tea, it's time for the most interesting activity in the desert, stargazing. Be ready for the beauty you will see for the first time in your life.
Usually, we think the view of the sky that we see every day is natural, but what you will see in the heart of the desert is the real sky without the influence of city lights. Looking at the vast desert sky and seeing countless stars and meteors is a peaceful and tranquil experience. Golavita provides a professional telescope for observing stars and planets up close.
You will see the Milky Way clearly, your guide will talk to you about what you see and will explain the star clusters and the locations of the planets and constellations above you. It is an unparalleled experience that makes you feel the greatness of this universe and the small size of planet Earth with everything in it compared to what is around.
Stargazing
Now our journey is over. The jeep will take you back to your hotel, enjoy the road at night, and don't stop looking at the sky. Go back to your life but when you look at the sky every night remember that it is much more beautiful than what you see.

Great service. We had a wonderful time.
Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car.
Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days.
Would highly recommend.
Wow my time in Egypt was beyond and it would never have been as good without my guide. Iβm beyond grateful for his effort and all the energy he spent making my tips once in a lifetime. I know Iβll be back one day, and I look forward to see people I now call my friends.
I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
Our experience on the Dahabiya with Golavita was absolutely fantastic. We had a very professional guide, Mohamed Nagdy who spoke excellent Spanish, and we learned about the fascinating history of Ancient Egypt in a relaxed and enjoyable way. The Dahabiya Iris is truly recommended, a perfect combination of comfort and culture.
We had an exceptional and one of the best trips with family friends on Dahabiya, Nile cruise covering gems of Egypt - Aswaan and Luxor.The trip was beautifully planned by Go Lavita. I highly recommend them. From the initial planning stage to the final day, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and customized to our needs and wants.They were constantly available and took into consideration all our requests as a big group.The staff, tour guide, all operators we met were warm and professional. Dahalbiya itself was elegant and very well maintained.The itinerary was very well curated. This dahabiya cruise was the highlight of our Egypt trip, combining luxury, authenticity, and cultural depth. We highly recommend Go Lavita to anyone seeking a personalized and unforgettable Nile experience.
Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with IsmaΓ«l; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers.I would recommend this agency without hesitation
Great experience from the start to finish. Golavita excelled on all fronts from good customer service, customer care and eager to provide customer excellence.They organised a simple, cost effective and efficient service with their Luxor trip package.The van was almost brand new, great drivers, couple stops for refreshments and got us bang on time to Luxor. It was a 12 seater van with just 8 tourists leaving plenty of space for everyone to stretch and be comfortable. I have long legs and so I had requested specific seats which was booked for me in advance and I didn't get any hassle by drivers or other co passengers.The guide was Sherriff and I really really enjoyed the way he delivered the site seeing experience. Sheriff spoke fluent in English and with a Masters in Egyptology and 4 decades of experience there couldn't have been a better guide. I highly recommend Sherriff as a guide and Islam and Ahmed as the drivers of fellow Brits tourists.Above all I want to thank Golavita for organising this incredible journey.
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
