A 1,600-square-mile area in New Zealand’s South Island comprising Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin has just been designated the world’s fourth International Dark Sky Reserve, making it “one of the best stargazing sites on Earth” according to IDSA’s executive director Bob Parks.
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the rediscovery of this former lost city, considered one of the greatest jewels of the Middle East.
Carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, people who settled here more than 2,000 years ago, this magical rose-red metropolis was a hub for the silk and spice routes in ancient times.
Entrance to the city is through the Siq, a narrow gorge flanked on either side by soaring, 80-meter high cliffs. The colors and rock formations are dazzling, and at the end of the gorge stands the lst-century Treasury, with its fabulous carvings.
Sharks, dolphins, Cape Gannets, cormorants, seals and sometimes Orcas, follow the sardines as they head to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
The spectacle is best viewed on a scuba dive in late June and throughout July; however, if you have a snorkel, you can still get in on the underwater action.
