Experience the beauty of the Perseids meteor shower from the highest peak in the UAE — Jebel Jais! Join us for a magical night of stargazing as we witness one of the most anticipated meteor showers of the year. Although the presence of the moon may slightly affect visibility, dozens of bright meteors are still expected to streak across the sky, making it a breathtaking sight.

Our expert-guided session includes telescope observations, constellation storytelling, and a deep dive into the night sky—away from city lights, in an exclusive and serene mountain setting. Whether you’re an astronomy enthusiast or just looking for a unique night out, this event promises an unforgettable experience under the stars.

The Perseids are one of the brighter meteor showers of the year. They occur every year between July 17 and August 24 and tend to peak around August 9-13.
Made of tiny space debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseids are named after the constellation Perseus. This is because the direction, or radiant, from which the shower seems to come in the sky lies in the same direction as Perseus. The Perseids are widely sought after by astronomers and stargazers because most years at its peak, one can see 60 to 100 meteors in an hour from a dark place.
