Great evening stargazing - A great experience! Would highly recommend booking an evening stargazing. You will get a short introduction and explanation about what you can expect and the main features of stargazing. After that some of the constellations are pointed out and they tell you how to navigate by the stars. You then get to look through several telescopes pointed at a planet and some constellations. Even though it was very cloudy, they made sure we had a lovely experience filled with funny stories and humor. It is a must if you are staying at a camp in the desert!

Unique experience - We were picked up from our camp on time and driven through the desert to the stargazing camp. We were then given a talk on the planets which was easy to understand and lots of fun. We then went outside to see the beautiful night sky and told lots of interesting information on what we were looking at , we then used the telescopes and that was mind blowing. This was a truly unique experience and fascinating if you are into astronomy or1 st time stargazers like us.

Loved it! - We had a fab night looking at the night sky. Both astronomers were great and really fun. We had 3 generations amongst our family and all of us really enjoyed learning about the stars. It was the first time all of us had looked through a telescope and everything was clearly explained beforehand by Fahkri. We saw galaxies and stars 🤩 I highly recommend this experience!

Amazing sights through the telescopes - Fantastic! The event is in 3 sections. There is a 15 minute video introduction with Fahri ( apologies If I have spelled that wrong) who is a very entertaining and informative speaker. The video is very accessible but still interesting if you are more knowledgeable. This is followed by an introduction to the night sky with one of the young team members who has a powerful laser pointer to identify stars and constellations. Our guide was great fun: she was very sparky, witty and well informed. I now understand how the Zodiac is arranged! We were then back with Fahri to look through the telescopes at four objects in the night sky - on the night we were there we saw a binary star, a globular cluster and two distant galaxies. Fahri was entertaining and astonishingly knowledgeable. His stellar photographs are mind blowing. We were fortunate in that there were only 10 in our group, and it may be different if it was more crowded but for me this definitely five stars ( or 200 billion if you count all the nearby ones…)

Educational and entertaining - I've always wanted to know more about the night sky and what an opportunity this was to do it in the Wadi Rum desert. From the moment the pre talk started with a 3 minute video showing how large space is I was hooked. We were lucky as a group tour to have 8 of us being educated and entertained as we got to view different stars/space phenomena through 5 telescopes and I learnt so much about the North Star, how the night sky changes and constellations visible in the sky that night.

Good - Unfortunately, my husband's explanation was English and I had to have every Shui translated...with the knowledge that most of us Arabs could be three sides of a...meaning they were supposed to rule Arabic and explained by Arabic ...lastly, my husband's rule Ino Mo understand Shish and explained Shui tried the whole group...but we thought Arabs and Arabic places would have everybody speaking Arabic.
