little bit of everything

Sinai By Starlight

We went on an excursion called Sinai by Starlight - the description from the brochure (saves me time!)

"Leave the city lights behind and disappear into the desert for an evening of stargazing, camels and Bedouin dining. Join us as we drive away from your resort into the sun-streaked mountains and dunes, arriving at a Bedouin camp deep in the desert in the late afternoon. As the sun dips below the horizon, you?ll be treated to a delicious dinner in a magnificent Bedouin tent, feasting on authentic delicacies and enjoying the hospitality of these friendly tribespeople. After you?ve had your fill, you'll emerge into a desert cloaked in darkness and a vast canopy of night sky twinkling with thousands of stars and completely unpolluted by resort lights. An expert guide will then join you as you observe and photograph the heavens through ultra-powerful, computerised telescopes, getting spine-tingling views of the moon, Jupiter, Saturn and the constellations. Factor in the romance of the silent, dark desert and you?ve got one memorable and moving experience"

Fantastic trip that I would recommend to anyone to go on. This picture of the moon was taken through one of the telescopes.
