There is something magical about the world after sunset. This year, elevate your travel experiences with the magic of moonlit coastlines, stargazing, city views at twilight and overnight camping. Here is a curated list of unique nighttime activities that deserve a spot in your travel bucket list.

Ras Al Khaimah, UAE
Away from the city lights, Ras Al Khaimah offers a captivating blend of luxury and adventure. At Sonara Camp, nestled within the Al Wadi Nature Reserve, you can indulge in a multi-course fine dining experience under the stars and live entertainment. Those seeking an adventurous activity can opt for the Nocturnal Summit Series and hike up to Camp 1770 in the Jebel Jais Mountain range, the highest campsite in the UAE, at 1,770 metres above sea level, under the moonlight. Enjoy traditional coffee or hot chocolate while taking in a stunning sunset, cooler temperatures, a campfire, tales of the past, and the silence of the wilderness, culminating in a hearty Emirati dinner prepared by a local tribeswoman. Back in the city, enjoy some crafted sundowners at Ula Beach Bar at Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island overlooking the Persian Gulf and Al Marjan, a group of four coral-shaped, artificial islands located in Al Jazirah Al Hamra.

Laikipia, Kenya
As the sun sets, wildlife comes alive. If you’re planning to experience something extraordinary, the Night Safari is the perfect choice for you. Plan a visit to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia, one of the few places in Kenya where night safaris are permitted, and have the opportunity to spot the Big Five. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Mara Naboisho Conservancy, located in the Maasai Mara region, also offer guided night drives. Don’t forget to pack neutral-coloured, warm clothing as the temperature drops, but the excitement only rises.

Doha, Qatar
As the sun sets over Doha, the city comes alive with a vibrant mix of culture and modern entertainment. For a taste of authentic Qatari heritage, Souq Waqif is a must-visit. This historic market comes alive at night, offering a vibrant array of spices, textiles, souvenirs, and traditional street food. Art and culture enthusiasts can visit Katara Cultural Village, which hosts evening performances, exhibitions, and a variety of events. You can also enjoy a dhow boat cruise along the Corniche, taking in stunning views of the illuminated skyline. For upscale dining and waterfront strolls, The Pearl-Qatar offers a luxurious nighttime experience. For a more adventurous escape from the city lights, go stargazing near the Inland Sea, where the night sky extends forever over the calm desert. A night desert safari with a camel ride adds a unique touch of culture and excitement to your evening in Qatar.

Sri Lanka
As the sun goes down in Sri Lanka’s central highlands, the tea plantations and wooded hills give way to something utterly enchanting. At Teardrop Hotels’ Camellia Hills, this is your invitation to encounter nature like never before. Venture out after dinner for a night walk in the peaceful tea estate, accompanied by an expert in-house naturalist. Under a star-filled sky or mantle of rising mist, you’ll follow secret paths where hill country awakens at night with all creatures animate. Equipped with an ultraviolet flashlight, your guide will assist you in locating the shining eyes of Sambar deer, porcupines, bats, owls, and fishing cats—and hopefully, a leopard peeking from the darkness. This light allows you to observe animals without interrupting their regular activity, offering a courteous and memorable encounter in the wild. While sightings are not guaranteed, the excitement is in the silence, suspense, and mystique of the night—Experience Sri Lanka’s undiscovered pulse after midnight. Let Camellia Hills, nestled above the breathtaking Castlereagh Reservoir, serve as your headquarters for this unforgettable experience.

Tokyo Skytree, Japan
As the sun dips below the horizon, Tokyo transforms into a shimmering tapestry of light, with the Tokyo Skytree at its heart. Standing tall at 2,080 feet, it glows softly in enchanting blues, purples and oranges, offering a breathtaking 360-degree panorama from its two viewing decks. The magic continues inside: visitors can stroll the glass skywalk at the Tembo Galleria, immerse themselves in visuals at the SKYTREE ROUND THEATER, or brave the thrilling glass floor with the city twinkling below. For a more relaxed experience, grab a coffee at Skytree Cafe or savour exquisite Japanese cuisine high above the town at Sky Restaurant 634. A night visit to the Skytree is more than just a view; it’s a captivating, full-sensory experience that promises unforgettable memories, whether you’re on a romantic date, enjoying a solo adventure, or exploring with friends.
