The camp was held at the Jebel Shams Resort.
“The camp aimed to exchange understanding and create capabilities. It incorporated a series of theoretical lectures and specialised workshops in astronomical observation.
“Some astronomy and space enthusiasts in the sultanate and the Gulf presented their effective experiments in astronomy. Some specialists also presented lectures to educate young and stimulate their creativity in fields connected to astronomy and space.
“The camp showed astronomy-related efforts in the region and created channels of communication between astronomers and concerned parties. This is to coordinate efforts to promote the Arab astronomical content in the Internet and encourage the dissemination of astronomy in social media.”
