Stardust is located in Ras Al Khaima approximately 0.5 km from the coast inland. As in all outdoor locations in UAE the optimum climbing season is from late September to mid-May. The comfortable camping season is October to March. Be aware that humidity is very unpredictable and might impact substantially the atmospheric experience. Take storm forecasts seriously as the wadi could flood rapidly severely. The north wall (where most climbing routs are) goes in shade sometime at 10 – 11 AM or earlier in the winter. Although the rock dries up relatively fast, it might become more brittle after intense rain (those do come from time to time) so it is good practice to wait a day before climbing. Ludmil Trenkov*
