Stargazing at Gharameel: Dark Sky Al Ula

Away from city lights, Gharameel offers a landscape that looks like another planet.

The Experience

• The Rocks: Thin, vertical rock pillars shooting up from the sand.
• The Sky: Zero light pollution. You can see the Milky Way with the naked eye.
• The Tour: Includes a BBQ dinner on mats in the middle of nowhere. A guide uses a laser pointer to explain constellations.

Tips

• Clothing: It gets freezing at night in the desert (even in spring). Wear heavy layers.
• Moon: Check the moon phase. Go during a New Moon for the best stars.
