This exclusive desert tour from Makadi Bay is designed for those seeking both high-octane adventure and the serene beauty of the cosmos. Escape the bright city lights and venture deep into the Red Sea desert for an evening packed with cultural immersion, adventure, and astronomical wonder.
Your Adventure Itinerary: Sunset, Safari, and Stars
Your 5 Hour Star Watching Trip begins in the late afternoon with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in Makadi Bay or the surrounding areas, heading straight to the desert excursion starting point.
Upon arrival, your experienced guide will transition you into a high-quality Jeep vehicle. The adventure immediately begins as you embark on a thrilling 26-kilometer Jeep Safari deep into the picturesque, rugged landscape of the Makadi Bay desert.
This off-road journey is perfectly timed to reach your destination just as the sun begins its descent. You will travel through breathtaking desert scenery, culminating in a prime viewing spot to witness the spectacular Desert Sunset 🌄 over the vast mountains and sands.
Next, you will arrive at an authentic Bedouin Village (or Bedouin tent), where traditional hospitality awaits.
Camel Ride: Experience the traditional mode of desert transport with a delightful 15-minute Camel Ride 🐪.
Bedouin Welcome: Savor a refreshing welcome drink and authentic traditional Bedouin tea, gaining insight into the simple and fascinating Bedouin way of life from your guide.
Romantic Dinner: The experience culminates with a delicious Bedouin buffet dinner served outdoors. This is a truly romantic candle-lit BBQ dinner, offering savory food under the darkening desert sky—an essential part of this cultural immersion.
After dinner, the true magic begins as your focus turns upwards. The Red Sea Desert offers some of the clearest, darkest skies in the world, perfect for stargazing.
Your journey to the cosmos will be guided by an expert astronomy guide with professional knowledge of the space world and the universe. Using a powerful, high-quality telescope, you will have the unique opportunity to:
Observe the stars, planets, and even the distant Milky Way Galaxy 🌌.
Get a close-up look at major planets and celestial bodies.
Learn interesting facts and stories about constellations and space phenomena.
This detailed, guided Astronomy Tour sets this trip apart, providing both visual wonder and educational enrichment.
While at the desert camp, you may choose to enhance your experience with an optional Quad Bike ride along the rolling hills (check for availability at booking).
Finally, once you are finished admiring the millions of stars in the tranquil desert environment, you will be driven comfortably back to your hotel in Makadi Bay or Soma Bay by Jeep.
This Jeep Safari Star Watching Trip is the ultimate desert escape and the most popular night activity in Makadi Bay.
