If you, like many others, live in a metropolitan city, then getting to see nature in its truly raw form is a rare occurrence. Still, there are some vacation spots around the world where you can breathe in some fresh air, smell nature, and become bewitched by the dazzling night sky. Here are some of the best places around the world where you can enjoy some unforgettable stargazing.

Utah, United States

This southwestern American state provides a range of stunning sites in the desert, including the Grand Canyon. But more than that, Utah boasts more International Dark Sky Places than anywhere else in the world. Consider spending a night in the Dark Sky-certified Canyonlands or Bryce Canyon National Parks to enjoy an unprecedented stargazing experience.

NamibRand Nature Reserve, Namibia

By taking measures such as limiting the use of vehicle headlights, this African nature reserve goes to large extents to protect its wildlife, from nocturnal creatures to its plant life. For an unforgettable nighttime experience, there are numerous stargazing safaris on offer.

Aral Sea, Uzbekistan

With a large amount of nomadic, Uzbekistan’s skies remain largely unpolluted. In Samarkand, 1400s astronomer Ulugh Beg built an observatory overlooking the Aral Sea. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy unfiltered viewing of the natural beauty that Uzbekistan has to offer.

Registan is Uzbekistan’s Top Spot to See https://travelermaster.com/registan-is-uzbekistans-top-spot-to-see/ Sat, 05 Sep 2020 12:28:00 +0000 https://stagingtrm.wpengine.com/?p=17614 Uzbekistan is, quite simply, a country that should be visited more often. While relatively isolated from the rest of the world in Central Europe, the natural and cultural heritage of this country of 33 million is impressive and must be seen to be believed.

Uzbekistan is, quite simply, a country that should be visited more often. While relatively isolated from the rest of the world in Central Europe, the natural and cultural heritage of this country of 33 million is impressive and must be seen to be believed.

If there’s one place you want to visit in Uzbekistan, it has to be Registan, a site that truly must be seen to be believed.

Located inside the modern city of Samarkand, this square was once the heart of the city in ancient times and is still preserved to this day.

Once an important stop on the Silk Road between Europe and Asia, the center of Samarkand’s public life was always this square. It’s now, however, best known for the immaculately preserved tile work, fountains, gardens, and three buildings that surround it and give it an unbelievably beautiful appearance.

Important as an Islamic religious center, leaders in Samarkand erected three madrasas as schools for their religion’s teachings between the 15th and 17th centuries. Standing to this day, the giant domes and ornate tile mosaics that define the buildings’ facades make Registan arguably the most beautiful square on the planet.

For any traveler who plans a trip to Uzbekistan, a stop at the Registan is something that simply can’t be missed.
