    These are the reasons why Lebanon is the perfect destination for Astro-tourism:

    – The weather is great:

    The clearness of the sky and the sunny days make it easier to see the Milky Way.

    – There’s less light pollution:

    light pollution is the excess of artificial light. Since there is a lot of power shortage in Lebanon, we have less light pollution.

    – Stargazing locations are close to Beirut:

    Lebanon is small, so it’s easy to move from place to place without wasting a lot of time on the road.

    Here are pictures of the Milky Way taken from 8 different regions in Lebanon!
