There’s more to Dubai after dark than just clubs, you know. From moonlight desert safaris to motorbike tours of the city, you’ll be surprised at what else Dubai has to offer after sundown.
DESERT NIGHT SAFARI
You’ll feel like James Bond on a night safari, armed with high-tech night-vision binoculars to gaze into the desertscape. After a drive to see nocturnal animals, relax at an open-air camp with a spot of astronomy, a BBQ dinner, drinks and shisha. DETAILS: Platinum Heritage, Oasis Centre, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, 6.30pm, Dhs 2,575. Pick-ups from Dubai hotels. Tel: (04) 3884044. platinum-heritage.com
STARGAZING TOURS
Is it a bird? A plane? A shooting star? A meteor shower? On a stargazing tour, it could be any of the above. The desert is the perfect place to take off with an enthusiastic group of amateur astronomers and try to discover a new planet. Dubai Astronomy Group has regular meet-ups and star spotting events, and they’ve even got their own observatory – the Zubair Astronomy Camp. DETAILS: Mushrif Park, Mushrif, Dubai, Saturday to Thursday, 10am to 6pm. Taxi: Mushrif Park. Tel: (050) 6246172. dubaiastronomy.com
PUMA NIGHT RUN SERIES

For the first time in the UAE, #IGNITEDXB by Puma brings their Night Run Series to Dubai, with their next race on April 12. Emphasis is on the social aspect of the race, with an invitation for a post-race meal and drink. DETAILS: The Track, Golf Clubhouse, Meydan, Dubai, Wednesday, April 12, 6.30pm, Dhs175.
