Mleiha to host Geminids Meteor Shower Experience

Mleiha National Park invites all residents and visitors to witness one of the year's most spectacular night-sky events at the Geminids Meteor Shower Experience on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025, at the Mleiha Panoramic Lounge, a private area within the desert.

- 

With minimal moonlight expected, the desert skies over Mleiha, which is renowned for very low light pollution and clear horizons, are set to deliver ideal conditions, with up to 100 meteors per hour anticipated at peak.

An array of computerised high-resolution telescopes ensures that visitors can observe celestial objects in exceptional detail and clarity.

Designed as a complete, serene evening under the stars, the guided program runs from 6 pm to 1 am for standard ticket holders, with an overnight option extending the experience through dawn, as the meteor shower will continue until one hour before sunrise, and concluding with a complimentary breakfast on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Guests can enjoy a premium stargazing setup with carpets and cushions; a curated buffet dinner under the night sky; guided telescope observations of Saturn and Jupiter; an expert-led presentation on the science of the Geminids; and a highly interactive segment featuring astronomy quizzes and chances to win Mleiha vouchers.
