Itinerary

We start by picking up our guest from all the local camps in Disi Area around 7:45 Pm in winter. (Summer times change, please check with us). Don't worry we always pick you up after your dinner.
The adventure starts with a 20-minute presentation that takes you on a journey that sheds light on the cosmos.
As the presentation ends, we step out and begin our trek across the sky. We split our guests in 2 equal groups:
Group 1
Follow the light of the green laser surrounded by a candle track. A professional astronomer takes you around the night sky, explaining how to find directions in the night through the stars’ system.
Then explaining the daily and annual rotation of stars. We show our guests various constellations and horoscopes with the aid of the laser.
We explain ancient mythologies from various cultures. This session takes 35 minutes.
Group 2
