Astronomy Center

The Astronomy Center of Marsa Alam is unique in Egypt. Built in the mountains of the desert it is undisturbed by noise or light from the nearby hotels.

 Laser

The presentation is done by an Astronomer who will help you to understand the mystery of the Universe. The sky will be explained with the use of a special Astro Laser.

Telescope with Camera

We take images with a CCD camera through a 10-inch Telescope.

Screen setup

We use a Wide Screen to project images, all life and in colour .

Constellation illustrated

The screen is also used to show the Constellations of the Stars.

Moon

For about seven days during each month the moon is too bright to see many stars. For this period we developed a special Moon Program. To be in the desert illuminated by the Moon is quite an experience.
Bedouins During the presentation the Bedouins provide tea and shisha (Egyptian waterpipe).

The excursion starts after dinner and takes about three hours.
