Visitors will also have the opportunity to witness the Leonid meteor shower, which can produce approximately 20 meteors per hour under optimal conditions.

The 10-day program will also introduce the "HUSAAK" initiative, offering guided walks beneath a star-studded sky, combining outdoor adventure with the discovery of AlUla’s natural and cultural heritage after dark.

AlUla's recognition as a premier stargazing destination is highlighted by its designation as the first "Dark Sky" site in the region. DarkSky International has recognized four locations as "International Dark Sky Places" AlUla Manara, AlGharameel Nature Reserve, Sharaan National Park, and Wadi Nakhlah Nature Reserve. These protected areas emphasize the commitment to preserving natural environments, reducing light pollution, and promoting sustainable tourism, while providing exceptional conditions for night sky observation.
