Darvaza Gas Crater - "Door to Hell"
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Hands down one of the (if not THE) most bizarre and incredible site I've seen so far. It's truly a freak of 'nature', and its 'Gates to Hell' moniker is, I think, appropriate.

Alem Center
Amusement center
👍 It is the world's largest indoor observation wheel. 16 see-through gondolas are running around. The scenery is not very good, but I was excited by the feeling of being in a flashy building beyond that.

National Museum of Turkmenistan
Museum
👍👍 I was wondering what to do on a lazy Sunday. I decided to try the museum. I visited here 16 years ago, but was escorting a group of VIPs, so I didn’t really get to see anything.
Today also happened to be a national holiday, the end of Ramadan. I was the only guest in the place! It was awesome. I we...
