Description
If you are a sky lover and a good stargazer, you look up at the sky daily and want to discover it more. How about watching the stars with a specialized telescope away from the city lights in the heart of the desert?
Hurghada Stargazing Safari from Golavita. It is a diverse trip full of adventure and discovery. The trip starts from your hotel in Hurghada, where a jeep will take you at the agreed time to the desert, where you will meet your tour guide and trip companions.
Your Jeep trip continues through the desert terrain. Enjoy the sunset views with its red rays embracing the mountains of the Egyptian desert, it is an unparalleled view. You will have frequent stops to enjoy this breathtaking view and take unique pictures of it.
Then you will have the experience of riding a camel. Feel like you are part of this nature by riding the only means of transportation in the desert for years. The camel is a tame animal that loves humans, try to enjoy driving it and take beautiful pictures with it.
Now to complete this desert beauty and to integrate more into the simple Bedouin life, you will join a Bedouin camp in the desert to experience desert life, drink Bedouin tea, and try the delicious food there.
Then, in the dark of night, it is time to watch the stars. The sky in the desert is completely different from what we see daily, the lights in the city block our view of most of the sky’s beauty. Experience with your astronomy expert, watch the stars through a specialized telescope, and listen to his analysis and explanation of what you see.

It is an unforgettable experience and an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
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 private tour to see desert and abandoned Roman ruins. Excellent service. We had private jeep, driver and tour guide. Amazing adventure, more than we expected. I strongly recommend this service. They can take you to some cool and unknown places far from main routes. Thank you for the amazing time!
Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf.
I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada.
Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences.
Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived.
Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other.
We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression.
A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company.
A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you.
Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us.
Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours.
If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive.
I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)
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.
We had the best guide ever, Ashraf! He is super skilled with a big heart. We became friends. I could definitely recommend Ashraf and the guided travels he does!
