Day 1
Welcome to the Desert, embrace the darkness!
Upon arrival, we settle into our lodge. A simple desert lunch awaits, setting the tone for our adventure.Following the meal, we kick off our exploration in the Black Desert, named for the striking layer of black powder and rocks formed over years of erosion. There will also be an exciting session of sand boarding to add a touch of thrill to our day. We then venture into the Black Mountain, enjoying a panoramic view of the surrounding area.As the day winds down, we gather in the lodge for a special treat—traditional cooked underground mandy chicken. Later, we come together around the fire, sharing stories and experiences from our day before we rest for the night. Tonight we'll also have the opportunity to do some more meteor watching at the end of the day because of how dark and secluded the Wahat is.

Day 2
Wahat adventure continues
Today kicks off early with a simple breakfast and checking out from the lodge, gearing up for a day of exploration. Our first stop is the famous Djara Cave, where we take it easy and enjoy some quality time before a relaxed picnic-style lunch. After exploring the cave, we head back to the White Desert Continuing our desert journey, we go deeper until we reach the Agabat Desert. As the day winds down, we set up camp in the tranquil White Desert, surrounded by its beauty. Dinner is simple but satisfying, cooked up in the heart of the desert with a cozy campfire. Afterwards we'll head out to the final destination of the day, the old white desert, where we will get into position to enjoy the peak of the best fireworks nature has to offer, the Orionid meteor shower.
Prepare yourself for a mind blowing celestial fireworks display, the Orionid meteor shower is the largest one of the year and this year is the best year in a decade as it's lined up with a new moon.
Imagine a pitch black sky speckled with stars with more bright & colorful meteors streaking across the night sky than you've ever seen. Pack a cozy blanket because you're going to want to snuggle up and sleep under the stars this night so you don't miss a single meteor!
