Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

\n\n\nGetting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Darwaza, the former village close to the crater, is located halfway between Ashgabat and Dashoguz, and fits nicely in an overland itinerary between Iran and Uzbekistan. It\u2019s a three-hour drive from Ashgabat, and a five-hour drive from Dashoguz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
At night, in an empty desert with only the stars for company, red light emanates from the ground in the distance, and a distant rumble presages the crater. Shooting flames and fireballs across its hole, like a volcano, the crater must be viewed at night for full effect. In the morning, wake up to a desert sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
