The Milky Way Shining Over Mount Moses, Sinai

This image captures the core of the Milky Way galaxy, glowing with vivid detail — from dark dust lanes to vibrant emission nebulae — rising over the ancient granite slopes of Mount Moses (Mount Sinai) in Egypt.

Photographed from an altitude of 2,000 meters, the location offers exceptionally dark skies, free from light pollution, making it one of the most pristine stargazing locations in the Middle East. The scene is set within the historical and spiritual heart of South Sinai, near the revered St. Catherine Monastery.
