Cosmic Glow is part of the Mountain Trails and Tales series.
Get ready for an out-of-this-world experience. Cosmic Glow 2025 will light up the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jebel Hafit Desert Park. The event is part of the Mountain Trails and Tales series and will return this October and November. The event will take place on three dates: 25 October, 1 November, and 8 November.
Now in its second season, Cosmic Glow 2025 has been curated by Cucina del Sul and brings together a unique programme celebrating the cosmos, creativity and culture. Offering three enchanting evenings beneath the stars, the experience is perfect for groups or romantic date nights, providing an unforgettable astronomy night out.
Cosmic Glow features astrophotography, guided stargazing, deep-sky object viewing, and storytelling sessions. Visitors can quiz experts from the International Astronomy Centre and deepen their understanding of the night sky.
The stargazing journey explores celestial bodies, constellations, planets, and deep-sky objects, including the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, and the Hercules constellation. Guests also have the opportunity to explore ancient tombs, guided by local Emirati experts with lanterns illuminating the ruins.
If you get hungry, food and drinks are available at Cosmic Glow, including an open-fire BBQ. Additional fun activities include glow-in-the-dark painting, designing UV-reactive T-shirts, silk-screening, and drawing constellations. The evenings are further enlivened by drumming circles and DJ sets, creating a vibrant atmosphere under the stars. Guests are also encouraged to dress in the theme with bright and glowing colours.
Tickets to Cosmic Glow 2025 are available now. For the best things to do in the UAE, check in with FACT.
