Don’t Miss the Perseid Meteor Shower: Top Locations in the UAE for 2025
Stargazers in the UAE can look forward to the spectacular Perseid meteor shower, active until August 23, with peak visibility on the nights of August 12 and 13. This annual event, known for producing up to 75 visible meteors per hour, coincides this year with a nearly full Sturgeon Moon, which may hinder visibility of fainter meteors by up to 75%. To optimize viewing potential, the Dubai Astronomy Group will host a ticketed stargazing event on Jebel Jais featuring telescope observations, expert talks, and more. For those seeking private viewing experiences, locations such as Al Quaa, Al Qudra, Hatta, and Shuweihat Island offer excellent stargazing opportunities. The best viewing times are between midnight and dawn, and stargazers are encouraged to limit light exposure to enjoy the celestial display fully.
