Robby Schropp — desert guide and founder of WENDEPUNKT, Hurghada Egypt

Robby has been at home in the Egyptian desert for over 50 years. What began as curiosity became home — a place of learning and the source of the most important experiences of his life.

“When I am asked who I am, the answer does not come easily — not because I don't know it, but because I have never defined myself through titles, positions or roles.” — Robby Schropp

Bedouin families, fishermen, companions — many of the people he meets today have walked beside him his whole life. They showed him what true freedom means.

Robby is founder and Managing Director of iQ onTour Ltd., a tour operator specialising in Egypt and based in Hurghada, and of the desert retreat WENDEPUNKT — an exclusive experience for executives and high performers who want to find themselves again in the silence of the desert.

Robby doesn't lead groups through the desert to teach them something. He creates the space in which people can meet themselves — in the silence, in the emptiness, in the beauty of nothing.

“I have never chased the spectacular. I wanted to understand, to feel and to experience.” — Robby Schropp

What sets him apart from coaches and trainers: no methods, no slides, no answers. Just the desert, time, and someone who holds the space and looks after you.

“It was never just places that fascinated me. It is people. Stories. Cultures. And the question of what truly matters in life.” — Robby Schropp

WENDEPUNKT is Robby's offering for people who, despite their success, have sensed that something is still missing. 5–7 days in the Egyptian desert, far from everyday life, roles and expectations. A maximum of 6 people per group — or a fully private, exclusive experience for one.

No programme to work through. No coaching that works on you. Just the desert, the silence — and Robby, who has known for half a century what happens there.

“The desert is addictive — because it returns you to who you truly are.” — Robby Schropp
