Sharm El-Sheikh: Camel Riding, Stargazing, BBQ Dinner & Show
A Bedouin evening in Wadi Khroume Valley, where the desert sky meets ancient tradition.
This Sinai Desert evening tour from Sharm El-Sheikh brings together camel riding, a sunset view, a Bedouin-style BBQ dinner, live fire and folk dance performances, and a guided stargazing session under one of Egypt's clearest night skies.
Departing from your hotel, you travel to Wadi Khroume Valley, a natural desert setting roughly 20 minutes from the city center. The landscape along the route offers a striking introduction to the Sinai Peninsula's geology and open horizons.
The evening is structured to cover several distinct experiences: hands-on Bedouin bread baking, a full open-buffet dinner served under traditional tents, live entertainment, and a telescopic stargazing session guided by a qualified astronomy professional. The pace is relaxed, making this suitable for a wide range of travelers.
El Tannoura folk dancing, a staple of Sufi performance culture, adds a cultural dimension to the evening. The whirling dancer's colorful skirt — the tanoura itself — creates a visually arresting display through centrifugal motion, representing a tradition deeply rooted in the region's heritage.
