Review: Wonderful book - I love this book! As I am a history teacher, I am actually using to create a bucket list of places to go after retirement. Each page has a picture, description and shows a location on a map, of each sight. There is basically one sight/place on each page. Some religious, some ancient. This is a well done book, kids and adults can both enjoy, and I keep it in the BR and view each time I sit and "think" LOL. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,107,259 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #518 in Literary & Religious Travel Guides #1,930 in General Travel Reference #2,855 in Travel Writing Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 104 Reviews | ## Images ![Sacred Places of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Most Peaceful and Powerful Destinations - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qOwRvaZBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feeling spiritual?

I love to travel and visit a lot of different places around the world so this is now a guide for me to visit some of the places in the book. I was able to visit a Mayan underground river in Belize this past fall, that had been restored by National Geographic, so I know that they put a lot of money towards restoring historical sites for all of us to enjoy. I am looking forward to being able to see a lot of these places in person!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9442914-sacred-places-of-a-lifetime-500-of-the-worlds-most](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9442914-sacred-places-of-a-lifetime-500-of-the-worlds-most) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
