• Disclaimer: Even though Al Quaa is the best place in the UAE for stargazing, don't expect it to look like the photos online. While you can see more stars than in most other locations and will definitely be amazed, the photos you see online are taken with professional cameras or high-quality phones that capture low light better than the naked eye. From May to October, the Milky Way’s core shines brightest and most dramatically, while in the cooler winter months, its subtler sections still offer breath-taking starry skies.
