About this experience
Far from any glow, an astronomer sets up a research-grade telescope on a quiet dune while you settle into low chairs with mint tea and dates.
The bands of the Milky Way arc clearly overhead as your guide tracks Saturn’s rings, distant galaxies and the star patterns the caravans once steered by, weaving in the desert myths that name them. It is among the darkest, clearest skies on Earth.
