Tour Overview
Dubai's city lights hide one of the most beautiful sights in nature — the Milky Way. Our Stargazing Desert Safari takes you deep into the Lehbab desert where light pollution is minimal, and the night sky reveals itself in full glory.
You'll start with the classic desert evening — dune bashing in a Land Cruiser, quad biking, camel rides, and a full BBQ dinner with live entertainment. Then, as the crowds thin out and the camp lights dim, an astronomy expert will guide you through the constellations, planets and deep-sky objects using professional telescopes.
You'll see Saturn's rings, Jupiter and its moons, distant nebulae, and — on clear nights — the Andromeda Galaxy. Perfect for families, couples, photographers and anyone who's ever looked up at the stars and wondered.
