Summary

Description
English: The UAE is home to beautiful and unique desert landscapes. In a very special way, the south of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi offers the opportunity to experience the magic of the desert with an extremely dark night sky, free of any light pollution. This makes it one of the best and most inspiring places in the world to experience the combined natural beauty of the desert with a mesmerising view of our Milky Way. This picture was taken shortly before Eid al-Fitr in May 2021 at Al Quaa, south of Abu Dhabi.
