Drive to Al Qua'a Desert - In Search of the Milkyway

[Mikhail Lukichev]

Hello! Just in case you are looking for some astrophotos taken in the UAE 😃

True, it is not that easy to find a place here without light pollution but it is not impossible. We can find it in a deep desert or in some mountains in RAK

Basically you need to drive 30-40 km away from the cities to see the sky a bit more clearly. Of course if you go deeper in Wagan or Liwa for example, the stars will look unbelievably close.

Just came across this, man what a simple and beautiful idea to watch the night sky without having to go to the middle of nowhere to see it. Wish they did this somewhere here to. a certified dark sky city.

If yes you are in big trouble.

I'll be the first one to beg you to take one for me for my beloved Pajero with milky way.
