Nestled in a serene location away from the hustle and bustle of city lights, this resort offers a unique opportunity to explore the wonders of the universe through stargazing sessions led by their own night sky specialist, Naim Saad.

Guests at Zulal Wellness Resort can marvel at a variety of astronomical phenomena visible from the Arabian Gulf, including the Equinox, comets, meteor showers, solstices, and celestial objects like the moon, Jupiter, and Saturn. These stargazing sessions provide a chance for individuals to connect with the vastness of the universe, gain perspective on their daily lives, and deepen their relationship with the natural world.

As urbanization continues to encroach on our view of the night sky, stargazing offers a unique opportunity to step back and appreciate the beauty and mystery of the cosmos. It’s an interactive activity suitable for all ages, allowing guests to bond with loved ones or enjoy a moment of solitude while contemplating the infinite possibilities of the universe.

Zulal Wellness Resort’s experts guide guests through the night sky visible from the Arabian Gulf, explaining the changing constellations throughout the seasons and sharing fascinating facts about celestial bodies. For those looking to delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe, the resort’s House of Wisdom offers a library with resources like Planetarium to further enhance their exploration.

Located on the northern tip of Qatar, Zulal Wellness Resort provides an ideal setting for stargazing, with reduced light pollution allowing for clear views of lunar phases, Jupiter, Saturn, constellations like Orion’s Belt, and more.

One upcoming event that guests can look forward to is the Lyrid Meteor Shower, set to light up the desert sky from April 21 to 22, 2024. Originating from the constellation of Lyra, this meteor shower occurs only once every 60 years and promises a spectacular display of shooting stars. Additionally, the Eta Aquarid Meteors, originating from Comet Halley, will peak between May 5 and 6, offering another opportunity for guests to witness nature’s fireworks.

In April 2024, stargazers can also catch a glimpse of the 12P/Pons-Brook comet as it reaches its closest point to the sun and shines brightly in the constellation of Taurus. This cold volcano soaring through space is a sight to behold, resembling a spaceship as it travels across the galaxy.
