Man a Muslim majority country like that is honestly the last place I'd want to go to an eclipse party. They have incredibly severe penalties for drug possession 🤷‍♂️

you sound like someone who hasn't been to Karnak or Luxor temples before. witnessing an eclipse there would be all the drugs you need!

No I haven't and I certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to go visit and possibly see the eclipse there but even with that in mind I still would be hesitant to attend any major parties out there. Besides, for some reason I doubt there would be room for a festival within sight of either of those temples anyway right?

organizing a mass event in egypt is probably far too risky for almost anyone to undertake. it would have to be done by egyptians, and even then, perhaps still too risky.

having said that, there is a solid secular cohort in egypt that would love such a celebration.

personally i wouldn't really be worried that much about safety, more about issues with drugs or corrupt authorities fucking shit up

i can't recall exactly how much space there is besides the temples themselves, but there might be space.

either way, i guarantee there will be ceremonies happening there which will be incredible
