    Увидела, все то, что раньше читала только в книгах. Такой спектр эмоций я не чувствовала уже давно... Книга восстала передо мной и показала себя с наилучшей стороны. Зорастризм, священная книга Авеста🥰

    Phenomenal ancient site, a knowledgeable guide is essential to get the most from your visit

    Fascinating site of a sophisticated ancient civilisation. It's remarkable that there are so few people visiting and so little work being done on the site. Worth coming from Mary across the Red Desert and spending a night camping here with just your guide, a caretaker and his two nutty dogs for company. You are likely to have the place to yourself and you can roam freely throughout the ancient city, letting your inner archeologist have free rein.

    UNESCO site that is little visited by tourists The ruins have been reconstructed in areas to give you an idea of how the city worked. In the necropolis you can see a grave/sacrificial site with animal skeletons. Lots of ceramics still scattered around the site. Be aware that as this site is not developed, there is no shelter from the sun as you walk around. You are in the middle of the desert, so ensure you have sunblock, water and suitable clothing. It was 40 degrees at 10am when we were there. It is a challenge to get to, if you're coming from Mary, expect it to take at least 2 hours, including about an hour of four wheel drive over bumpy and dusty tracks. Worth it to see a little seen gem of Central Asia

    It took a couple of hours to get here from Mary, road conditions were bad. No much to see and it's an UNESCO site, our tour guide brought his English book with him and showed us some of the recreated pictures what they should look like. They should have put some pictures on-site for the visitors to see.

    Fascinating but requires guided tour and 4-wheel drive access. Worth it.
