This tour is located in Sharm El Sheikh, a resort city situated at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, bordering the Red Sea. The surrounding Sinai Desert is one of the most distinctive arid landscapes in the Middle East, characterised by open sandy plains, dramatic mountain formations, and near-zero light pollution after dark. The region has been a hub for desert tourism for decades, with Bedouin communities maintaining traditional practices including camel guiding, open-fire cooking, and cultural hospitality. Sharm El Sheikh is served by an international airport (SSH) and attracts visitors primarily from Europe, the Gulf region, and Russia. The clear atmospheric conditions of the Sinai make it one of the most accessible locations in the region for naked-eye and telescope astronomy.
