Gather under the winter skies of the UAE to recall an era of simplicity and connection—a time when the stars listened to stories told by firelight.
Sit in a circle around an open fire in conversation with a respected community elder, who will share memories of desert and sea journeys and the role of stars as guides for past generations. Then try your hand at a traditional Emirati skill, such as preparing coffee on hot sand or baking bread on embers, before ending the night with a poetry session and a shared barbecue under the moonlight. This experience weaves together heritage and adventure, reviving the early magic of Emirati storytelling.
