Jabal Al Shams – Oman
Jabal Al Shams is around 500 km away from Dubai and it takes around 6 hours to get there. At 3000 meters above ground level the place is cold during the summer!

It starts off right from our airplane ride where we will be provided with a complete section that is specified only for us. This would include in-flight astronomy movies and discussions. We will also be passing by the polar cap so we will get a chance to see the northern auroras as well. The next few days have been carefully planned so if you would like to know more contact us!
