Star watching experience in the Arava desert

Star watching experience in the Arava desert

Arava desert star-gazing is an experience that you will not easily forget. The clear desert air and low "light pollution" make the Arava a perfect location for watching the stars and learning about the fascinating world of astronomy.

The unique location inside the desert, along with our very experienced guides, will make this activity a very special experience.

Itinerary

A kettle of hot “Bedouin style” desert tea will keep us warm as we watch stars and constellations using a telescope. We will get familiar with main constellations, try to grasp the huge distances in the universe, and get a taste of ancient mythology stories associated with prominent constellations.

We will understand how the night sky changes during the night and across seasons, and learn how to orientate ourselves and find the north using the stars.
