Yes, you are right, it’s a famous, unique place for a tourist attraction.  This is the place where we can sit and take a break and have some time with family and friends.

Al Quaa has become famous for its black skies, unpolluted by the bright lights of urban life. Among many astronomy enthusiasts, it is referred to as “Milky Way Spot,” for which, if you have been there once, you know why. This beautiful celestial show starts right after sunset. The night sky will expose stars of constellations, planets, and a striking strip of Milky Way stretched across the top to bottom of the sky, shining like a river of stars. Telescopes are unnecessary; your bare eyes are enough to observe the cosmic beauty above.
