28. Ughtasar

Blog entries, Gallery, Locations

Outside Doha

Locations
And the rest of the country? Plain desert? Mostly, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing to see.

These rather mysterious rock carvings have not been conclusively dated, neither have they been well-described, it seems. Apparently, there [...]

Blog entries
There are lots of ancient sites worth stopping for along the Panj River, the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan
