Stargazing & night sky
No light pollution for forty kilometres. The Milky Way, every clear night.
Twenty minutes into the dunes the village glow disappears entirely. Camps lay carpets on the sand and some, like 1000 Nights, keep an astronomer and telescope. Pick a night away from the full moon; November to February are the clearest and least windy. By midnight the dew has settled and the sand is cold enough to need a blanket.
💡 Tips
- Check the moon phase before booking
- Use a red torch to keep your night vision
- Download a star map app before you lose signal
