Marsa Alam Astronomy Center, located Km 23, - Marsa Shagara - Marsa Alam, on a little top hill of the Red Sea Mountains, in the Eastern Desert, is unique experience you have to catch up during your stay in Marsa Alam.
There, you can learn more about the "mysterious universe", in a 3
hours presentation, while the Bedouin tribe-Ababda- are serving you their
traditional tea and coffee. You can enjoy an extraordinary experience of high
intensity telescope, while you are laid on your back on a mat in the middle of
the desert.
Very informative presentation, by an astronomer, that explains the night
sky with its seasonal zodiacs, celestial bodies, planets, the phases of the
moon and special phenomena of the region. Computer animation and special laser
pointers that helps to enlighten the seen objects, are used in the
presentation. With a 10-inch telescope and giant screen projector, the distant
Galaxies, Clusters and Nebulas will be visible to all the audiences in the
presentation.
The main guidelines in the presentation is about the star signs and their
mythologies. They show Life Color Pictures from the Telescope directly on the
Wide Screen projector, and explain the basic astrophysics.
Far away from the crowded cities and the pollution, you can gaze myriads of
shining shooting stars.
