The Solid Space event, which is part of the Knowledge Surprises week and has been organised by the Dubai Land Department allows you to enjoy a space tour wearing space suits and accompanied by an expert who tells you all there is to know about outer space, the moon, planets and comets.

It features a gigantic astronomical dome, equipped with the latest tools and scientific technologies. An interactive presentation giving useful information about the solar system, outer space, galaxies and the universe is also there.

Sultan Ibrahim, Deputy Head of the Knowledge Surprises Organising Committee from the Dubai Land Department, said, “The Solid Space event is a wonderful and exciting idea that seeks to increase scientific awareness among DSS visitors."
