Amazing stargazing experience
R1985JBcaroll, September 2026
The stargazing is amazing! The guide, Max Max, was great, very entertaining and knowledgeable. Access to the telescope was great, small queues but well worth the few minutes wait. My only comment for others looking to book is to be aware that the journey through the desert to the Star Valley is very bumpy, lots of ups and downs over the sand.

Stargazing
J1943KJclaudial, August 2026
Tour guide Asab put in a lot of effort; 20€ extra was collected right at the beginning, I don't know what for, food was okay, Bedouin village was a meeting point for about 200 tourists, stargazing was very nice, but you had to wait in line, overall conclusion: You can save yourself the trouble, too expensive, too expensive, not enough offered.
