Cosmic Glow 2025, part of the Mountain Trails & Tales series, returns for its highly anticipated second season this October and November at Jebel Hafit Desert Park, with an expanded program that celebrates the cosmos, creativity, and cultural heritage. Whether gathering under the star-filled desert sky or exploring ancient archaeological wonders, families and curious explorers can enjoy an authentic and immersive experience across three magical evenings on October 25, November 1 & November 8.
Curated by Cucina del Sul, Cosmic Glow’s transformative experience offers a line-up of immersive astronomy experiences, including guided stargazing sessions, deep-sky object viewing, astrophotography moments, and storytelling that are perfect for amateurs and experts alike. Led by International Astronomy Center (IAC) experts, gaze at celestial bodies before partaking in glow-in-the-dark painting sessions, or a hands-on silk-screening experience where you can create personalized glow-in-the-dark and neon t-shirt designs inspired by ancient constellations above and local legends. As the desert sky darkens, the air comes alive with Neon Drumming Circles, where UV-lit beats ripple outward in harmony, the vibe fueled by our resident DJ’s cosmic soundtrack that keeps the evening pulsing with life. To complete the experience, guests are invited to attend the event, dressed in neon fashion, from glowing bracelets and playful accessories to vibrant, colorful clothing and UV-reactive outfits—together creating a living galaxy that shimmers and dances beneath the stars.
Cosmic Glow’s comprehensive evening includes access to an open-fire BBQ station, snacks and beverages, allowing guests to settle in and savor the night without worrying about a thing. The intimate atmosphere, limited to just 150 tickets per evening, guarantees that discovery, creativity, connection, and shared awe of the cosmos take centre stage. Lastly, the Ancient Tombs Night Tour, sure to be a standout, will challenge guests to explore the mysterious ancient tombs & historical ruins. Guided by an Emirati cultural specialist, event go-ers can discover the untold legends of Hafit under the moonlight.
For those seeking extended desert adventures, overnight accommodation options provide the perfect complement to the cosmic experience. With every Cosmic Glow event ticket, guests can unlock exclusive event-rates with 30% savings at Ayla Bawadi Hotel through hotel vouchers, available as add-ons during ticket purchase. Alternatively, embrace the ultimate desert experience with glamping and complimentary DIY camping options at Jebel Hafit Desert Park and Pura Eco Retreat.
