The reviews speak for themselves:

“Spectacular desert experience - The desert setting is stunning, torchlit dining after dark - vegetarians willingly and abundantly catered for, followed by stargazing led by the accomplished Astro-science communicator and Astrophotographer Prabhu and his knowledgeable team. And that’s just the evening activities. Woken for sunrise, you’re transported to the stunning peak to watch sun rise over the expansive Mleiha valley. Unlimited beauty in every direction. A short walk in the dunes lead by Prabhu to Fossil Rock to see the spirals of seashells of times long ago when this land was part of the seabed. These were the highlights for me. The team were super friendly and knowledgeable with a safe and healthy respect of Covid precautions maintained throughout. My Mleiha visit was the highlight of my time in Dubai, highly highly recommended!” (Reviewed on 2020-10-22)
