★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 91 reviews · 7 hours · from $112

Join Manolo or another Mamio Verde guide for a seven-hour Teide outing from Puerto de la Cruz. Eat at a traditional guachinche, visit La Orotava and volcanic viewpoints, watch sunset with cava, then look for constellations in Teide National Park.

“Our tour of the Teide turned out to be a wonderful experience. Manolo, our guide, started off a bit grumpy but quickly warmed up and showed us just how much he knew about the island. His knowledge added a lot to the trip. The food stop we visited was a highlight for its authentic cuisine, even though the wait time was a bit long. It was worth it for the delicious food. The tour included several photo stops with stunning and diverse landscapes. Each location offered something unique, and the sunset spot was absolutely breathtaking. We haven’t done any stargazing as described but that could be because of the cloudy…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 10 reviews · from $32

Join an evening from Sharm El-Sheikh into the Sinai Desert for a 10-minute camel ride, sunset mountain views, Bedouin tea and bread, a BBQ buffet, live shows, and a 30-minute telescope session. English, Italian, and Arabic support is available.

“Dinner was really yummy and tasty. The show was good. The explanation of the stars was so fast that nothing was understood. There wasn't enough time to enjoy that moment. I didn't like that they tried to sell us all kinds of herbs, and I really didn't like the time we wasted on the explanations of each one. I would've preferred to enjoy the explanation of the stars. It was too commercial and touristy.”

Dubai VIP Dhow Cruise Celeste Enchanting Night Under the Stars

8.Dubai VIP Dhow Cruise Celeste Enchanting Night Under the Stars

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · from $24Best value

Spend about two hours aboard the Celeste catamaran from Umm Hurair 1, with an international buffet, welcome juice, live singer, international music, and Tanoura dance. Pickup is offered, vegetarian requests are accommodated, and the group can reach 150 people.

“I was really disappointed with this experience. The cruise was overcrowded, lots of small kids and the atmosphere felt chaotic rather than relaxing or luxurious. The food was below expectations—limited variety and not very enjoyable, especially if you’re not a fan of curry and rice. The waiters were nice and tried to please everyone. Thank you !”

Sharm Private Jeep Safari, Stargazing & Luxury Dinner

9.Sharm Private Jeep Safari, Stargazing & Luxury Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 3 reviews · from $70

You’ll leave Sharm El-Sheikh by air-conditioned 4x4, cross Sinai’s sandy valleys and mountains, ride a camel, eat a Bedouin barbecue, watch Oriental shows, and study stars through a telescope. The advertised private format may include busy shared camp areas, so confirm the details before booking.

“Communication was poor—we only got a pickup time 2 hours before. At the safari gate, we waited 20 mins as the driver lacked paperwork. Dropped at a quad bike area with no clear info, then put in an old 4x4 with bench seats. The desert drive was brief and uneventful. Dinner was with 100+ people, not the private experience advertised. My daughter was burned by hot tea during the wait. We were made to sit through an unmentioned 1-hour sales pitch in a hot tent. Dinner and fire show were great, but stargazing felt like a rushed lecture with basic telescope views. Return transfer was odd—the driver brought his kids…”
