Star Gazing in the Sharm el Sheikh Desert

Collection from all hotels in Sharm at around 4.30pm in a fully air conditioned vehicle and then taken to the main Bedouin tent used for this wonderful excursion. Our guide will be there to assist you at all times and you will start with a short camel safari in the local desert, if you choose not to do this? then no problem you are welcome to spend the time in the Bedouin tent enjoying the hospitality of the local Bedouins in drinking their local tea.

When the camel safari is complete all guests will then spend the rest of the evening in the tent area enjoying the tea, water and shisha pipes. As darkness encroaches the entertainment shows will start. This is the Nubian dance show followed by the African dance show that also incorporates a little audience participation if you so wish. A break now for the lovely evening meal, chicken, kofta, rice, pasta, potatoes, salads garnishes and Bedouin bread and as much as you want along with the soft drinks.

After the evening meal has finished it is on with the entertainment again and the Egyptian Tanoura dance followed by the fire dancer!! That is certainly not to be missed. Then you will have a private lesson with the Bedouins on how to make and bake the bread over the open fire, a highly entertaining experience and sorts the cooks from the boys!!! Then a short walk outside the tent to the enormous telescopes, 14 inch mirrors and the biggest in Egypt. These are all set up for you, computer guided and expert advice given to you on each telescope. You can see many different stars and the local astronomer will be pointing out to you all the various constellations in the night sky. A great way to end a fabulous evening out.

Then it is back in to the transfer vehicle and a return to the hotel. All in all a very enlightening and entertaining evening.
