Day 1
Al Quaa aka the “The Darkest Spot in UAE” – Stargazing, BBQ, games & camp

2:30 pm: Meeting time for the ones joining our transport at our Abu Dhabi pickup point.
At camp, we will have the usual best bbq in town, drinks, campfire games, music, and melting marshmallows on the bonfire.

A real haven for nature lovers, the mangroves are home to a surprising variety of inhabitants, including crabs, herons, flamingos and fish.
