United Arab Emirates Milky Way Al Razeen

If you are in the UAE visiting Dubai or Abu Dhabi and you fancy some Milky Way photography in some of the darkest spots you can get this is the one to go to. You are surrounded by dunes its super dark and a couple of trees are around aswell.

Dont go alone, have a torchlight and plenty of water. This spot is pretty remote so when something goes wrong with your car or you get stuck you have to wait a while for someone to arrive. You can reach this spot with a regular car as there are roads. Dont wander of into the dunes alone, if you get lost your doomed. Scorpions and Snakes are at home in these dunes but you rarely see them, i would wear closed shoes and long trousers anyway. As the Milky Way season is in Summer take more water then you think you would need, its hot out there.
