Hurghada Safari and Stargazing

An afternoon in the mountains behind Hurghada: a 4×4 ride into the wadis, tea with a Bedouin family, and a telescope under a very dark sky.

ABOUT THIS TRIP

An easy afternoon out of Hurghada. The 4×4s leave the coast road for the wadis of the Eastern Desert, where the mountains turn red at sunset. Tea is poured by a Bedouin family at their camp.

After dark, Hassan sets up a telescope: Saturn’s rings, the Moon’s craters and the Milky Way, far from the hotel lights.
