Mleiha: Sunset Lounge Desert Safari with Guided Telescope Stargazing

An evening at Mleiha Sunset Lounge with museum entry, guided stargazing, and up to 5 hours of relaxed desert time.

Getting started

You make your own way to the Mleiha Archaeological Centre, where your entry to the museum is included with your ticket. After exploring the exhibits, you are guided toward the desert area and shown to your selected lounge option for the rest of the evening.

Sunset lounge and arrival

What to expect

Your evening begins at the Mleiha Sunset Lounge, where you settle into your chosen setting as the light fades over the desert. You can bring your own food for a BBQ, using the equipment provided, and start unwinding while the campsite comes to life for the night ahead.

Features

• At check-in, you are directed to the Non-Exclusive Sunset Lounge Access with Other Guests, Exclusive Private Sunset Lounge Access, or Hill Top Lounge Access, depending on the option you selected.

• You can use the option to bring your own food for a BBQ, with all necessary BBQ equipment provided at the campsite.

Camp activities in the desert

What to expect

As darkness falls, the focus shifts to a calm camp experience around the bonfire. You have time to relax, chat, or simply watch the sky while soft lounge music plays throughout the evening.

Features

• A bonfire at the campsite provides a central gathering point and adds to the desert atmosphere.

• Traditional hot beverages and soft drinks are available, so you can sip tea or a cold drink while you enjoy the lounge music throughout the evening.

Guided stargazing experience

What to expect

Later in the evening, you join the scheduled stargazing experience with an expert guide. The group size for stargazing is limited, giving you a focused session to learn about the night sky above Mleiha.

Features

• The stargazing experience with an expert guide leads you through the visible stars and celestial objects, with explanations tailored to the conditions on the night; the session is subject to weather conditions and limited to 50 guests at one time.

• Your ticket includes entry to the museum earlier in the visit, so you can connect what you learn indoors with the desert landscape and clear skies you see during stargazing.

Wrapping up

Once the guided stargazing session and lounge time are over, your 5-hour experience comes to a close, and you depart the campsite. If you have pre-booked any optional activities or return transfers, these are handled separately from the inclusions listed in your ticket.
