Bedouin dinner in the Sharm El Sheikh desert
Bedouin dinner in the Sharm El Sheikh desert: dinner, show and starry sky at €20-40. The evening programme and how to book with no prepayment, pay on site.
Escursioni Sharm connects you with verified local operators for the Bedouin dinner in the Sharm El Sheikh desert: an evening under the Sinai stars with a traditional dinner, show and telescopes, booking with no prepayment and paying on site. It is the perfect alternative to a night at the hotel, suited to couples, families and groups.
How the evening unfolds
The programme lasts about 4-5 hours, from late afternoon into the evening:
- Hotel pick-up around 5:00-6:00 pm and transfer into the desert (20-40 minutes).
- Welcome at the Bedouin camp: welcome tea, a camel ride and sunset over the Sinai mountains.
- Buffet dinner with local dishes: bread baked in the sand, grilled meat, rice, vegetables and desserts.
- Evening show: traditional dances, tanoura (the whirling dance) and often a fire eater.
- Stargazing: away from the city lights the Sinai sky is breathtaking; some camps provide telescopes with an astronomy host.
- Return to the hotel around 10:00-11:00 pm.

Indicative prices verified in October 2026: they vary by season and operator. The range depends on the camp, the menu and whether telescopes are provided.
The evening appeals across the board: couples looking for a different atmosphere, families with children fascinated by the camels, groups wanting dinner outside the resort. The pace is relaxed, nothing is physically demanding, and the return time still allows a good night's sleep before the next day's excursion. You book with no prepayment and pay on site, like all our proposals.
Why the Sinai sky is special
The desert around Sharm has some of the clearest night skies in the Mediterranean: extremely low humidity, zero light pollution as soon as you leave the coast, and a latitude that shows off the Milky Way for much of the year. At camps equipped with telescopes, a host points out constellations, planets and clusters — children are spellbound, and not only them. Even without instruments, lying on a Bedouin rug looking up is worth the evening on its own.
Practical tips
In the desert the evening turns cool in winter: bring a light jacket or a warm fleece, especially from November to February. Comfortable shoes beat sandals. The Bedouin dinner combines beautifully with the afternoon quad safari for a full desert day, and it is one of the evenings recommended in the Sharm nightlife guide.
