Tonight, Saturn is putting on a show in the skies above the desert. Head to the Al Qudra Desert for a unique stargazing event run by the Al Thuraya Astronomy Center. From 8 to 11 pm, you can peek through powerful telescopes, admire Saturn’s rings, learn about celestial stories, and even try your hand at mobile astrophotography. It’s a rare opportunity for both young explorers and seasoned sky watchers alike.

Art lovers and creatives will find plenty to fuel inspiration. At The Jam Jar in Alserkal Avenue, a live figure drawing session kicks off at 6:30 pm today.
