RumSky Stargazing Adventure

Activities:

You are picked up from the Disi area and taken to the observatory hall to begin with a 20-minute presentation that takes you on a journey around the cosmos. Next, step out of the hall into a paved area and begin your trek across the sky using the available large telescopes (16-inch, 11 inch and 5 inch). Discover the constellations and see the stars and planets. After the stargazing session is over, a group photo is taken by professional astro-photographers with the stars as the background. Photos are then uploaded onto social media platforms. (Personalized pictures are also available) Nights can be chilly during October to April and require warm clothes. You will be transferred back to your camps afterwards.
