Moongazing at Al Sadeem Observatory

Join us as we visit Al Sadeem Observatory, the UAE's first private observatory and the home of astronomy in Abu Dhabi. Set up by Thabet Al Qaissieh and Alejandro “Andy” Palado in 2016, the observatory boasts a 5.5-metre dome and a Meade LX850 16 inch telescope. After a lecture on the basics of astronomy, we will have a telescope workshop, a quick tour of the facility, and then will feast our eyes on the moon, which will be in its full phase. 

Cost is AED 200 for entry for adults, AED 50 for 11-17 years old, and free for kids under 11.
