I was reading the thread about possibilities of astronomic observations in Egypt, but further I have found this website. Maybe you haven't seen it yet: http://www.saharasky.com/saharasky/index.htmlhttp://www.hotel-sahara.com/hotel/As for me, it is an absolutely great idea. I will certainly recall this place if only I will sometimes have an oportunity to travel southwards.

I've read of other hotels that cater to astonomers like this, but never in such a dark sky environment like this. I remember in the California deserts many years ago the dark skies were just incredible. Not making much scence of the monetary system, I don't know if that is a good price or not, not that I'll ever travel that far to visit it. Still, very interesting!

That looks like a fantastic place Roman, I can only imagine what the night sky would look like from there. No doubt the Milky Way casts a shadow.
Great links too from John.
