Private Night Safari and Astronomy

A Spectacular Stargazing Experience in the Dubai Desert.

The best way to learn about the Arabian night sky is to venture into the desert on a private night safari, followed by an immersive astronomy session.

Explore the desert after dark in a private 1950s Land Rover, followed by an eco-night walk as your Conservation Guide unveils the secrets of the desert's nocturnal wildlife.

After the nature safari, join other guests at a serene desert camp set in the royal desert grounds. Enjoy aromatic shisha and a delightful three-course Emirati-inspired dinner.

The evening concludes with a guided astronomy session led by a professional astronomer, who will take you on a journey through the galaxies, sharing stories about the stars and how Bedouins used them for navigation.

Extend the night with a traditional overnight experience, staying in authentic stone rooms followed by a luxurious morning breakfast. Enhance the experience further with a sunrise hot air balloon flight before returning to the Heritage camp for breakfast.
