Private Night Safari and Astronomy

Embark on a captivating stargazing journey into the heart of the Arabian desert. Explore the desert after dark in your private 1950s Land Rover, followed by a walk through the dunes where your conservation guide will tell you about the desert’s nocturnal life.

After your private safari, join other guests for a delightful 3-course dinner. Enjoy Emirati dishes and partake in shisha sessions under the stars. The evening finishes with a session led by a professional astronomer who will navigate you through the stars that once guided the Bedouins through the dark desert.

Enhance your experience by opting for an overnight stay in the desert. You’ll sleep in a traditional Arabic stone room equipped with a comfortable bed and wake up to a scrumptious breakfast the following morning.

For those keen on fully immersing themselves in the desert, there’s an option to add on a sunrise hot air balloon flight.
