Private Desert Stargazing with an Astronomer

A private night beneath one of Earth’s clearest skies, with an astronomer, a telescope and ancient star lore.

About this experience

Reclined on cushions in the silence of the open desert, you join a private astronomer who has set a telescope against the dark wall of a jebel.

The Milky Way blazes from horizon to horizon as your guide tracks planets, nebulae and distant galaxies, and shares the star lore by which the Bedouin and the Nabataeans once crossed these sands — a sky undimmed by any city for a hundred miles.
