Next week, a pink moon is expected to rise over Dubai, so look up at the sky.
The pink moon, which signifies the arrival of spring and marks the transition of the seasons, will occur on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
The term refers to the spring flowers and blossoms that usually bloom at this time of year, not the beautiful pink colour of the moon itself.
But it’s going to be a bright one, and Tuesday is supposed to have clear skies in Dubai, so you should be able to see it well.
While the weather is still pleasant, why not take advantage of it and go outside to see the rising moon?
Despite the fact that the full moon can be seen for three days, there are a number of celebrations taking place on the first day of the appearance.
If you think this sounds good, check out these ideas for an evening spent beneath the pink moon below.
Five ways to see the pink moon in Dubai
Enjoy a pink moon yoga class
You’re invited to Rayya Health’ pink full moon yoga class, which promises to be a beautifully peaceful evening.
Experience a guided yin class that helps you connect with your inner self while you take some deep breaths and release all of your issues.
After that, there will be a meditation tea ceremony to wrap up the programme, and you can go home feeling rejuvenated.

Go night swimming at Kite Beach
Would you like a swim in the full moon at night?
Kite Beach, which opened for night swimming last year, would be a great place to cool off while enjoying the moonlight. As you bob in the water and take in your surroundings, raise your gaze to the sky.
You may grab dinner at one of the many outdoor eating establishments after taking a plunge in the sea.
Every day from dusk to sunrise, Kite Beach, Umm Suqeim, is free.
Get stargazing in the desert
Travelling to the desert for the night might be the ideal way to view the moon through a larger lens if you have a telescope or other astronomy equipment.
Take a drive and take in the wonders and bright skies above if you would want to see with your own eyes alone.
