ABU DHABI ASTRONOMY

Way back centuries ago, practicing of astronomy in the Arab place is no longer new as the matter of fact one of the early astronomers are from this place.

Abu Dhabi the capital of United Arab Emirates is a rich and big city, a good place for astronomical study. I just wonder why seems astronomy was forgotten or not a priority to consider. I search and research since I came and work here and I found out that lots and lots of people are asking about astronomy group and place where astronomy is a topic .

I created this blog site thinking that I can found astronomy fanatic like me and hoping to tap a right person to talk to and probably discussed of starting an astronomy observatory in this place.

An invitation to all who are amateur astronomers crossing across this site to contact me and let start to plan how we developed a group here and have a regular meetings. Please send email of interest to abudhabiastronomy@gmail.com.
