2. Witness The Arietids Meteor Shower – Friday, June 7th
Skygazers in the UAE are in for a special treat with the Arietids meteor shower, which reaches its peak this Friday, June 7th. Unlike most meteor showers that are best viewed at night, the Arietids are at their brightest during the daytime. However, the harsh sunlight in the UAE makes it difficult to see the meteor showers during the day. That’s why it has been suggested that the best time for UAE residents to witness the Arietids meteor shower is around dawn at 3 am on June 7th. So, if you still want to try your luck at viewing the meteor shower, make sure you’re in an open and clear area free of any light pollution – such as the desert. And Don’t forget to make a wish if you finally see them!
