One of Central Asia’s least-explored stans, Turkmenistan offers Silk Road travelers the opportunity to go deep into a land of age-old traditions and natural beauty. Discover the important historical city of Merv, near the modern-day oasis city of Mary in the Karakum Desert. Explore the white marble city of Ashgabat with its shimmering domes and lavish palaces, and Nissa—once the seat of Parthian Kings. Wrap up your adventures in Turkmenistan by haggling for a world-famous Bukhara rug at Ashgabat’s vibrant Sunday bazaar. MT Sobek’s Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan Silk Road Cultural Discovery includes three action-packed days in Turkmenistan with an additional nine in Uzbekistan.
