| “There is a lovely rooftop set up with mattresses to lie down on in the evening and enjoy the most glorious star studded sky.” rashaJordan on TripAdvisor, November 2009 |
sunset
hike Every evening, guests are invited to join the lodge’s guides on a complimentary hike to the top of a gentle outcrop to watch to a sunset like no other. With the call for prayer providing a beautiful soundtrack, watch the rugged mountains change colours while vivid ambers, violets and reds wash across the evening sky. Take this rare opportunity to witness the end of the day in the Bedouin camps below; with children wandering home from play, women tending the evening fires, and men rounding up their herds in a peaceful dance as the sun falls. Feel the gentle breeze ushering in nightfall as stars dot the sky and guides brew fresh tea over the warm fire. |

gazing After night has fallen and the valley has settled into quiet, ascend candlelit stairs to a rooftop terrace laden with mattresses where you can wrap yourself in warm blankets, stretch out on comfortable pillows and sip hot tea as you gaze upwards at the Milky Way in its uninhibited glory. With no other sources of light, the sky becomes a vast dome of black velvet lit only by thousands of twinkling stars. Use the rooftop telescope (coming soon) to examine lesser-seen planets or just lie back and track shooting stars as they etch their burning tails into the night’s sky. |
