After breakfast, drive to the Turkmenistan border and on to Mary — known as Merv in ancient times — a city on an oasis in the Karakum Desert. En route, stop for lunch in Turkmenabat. An important hub on the ancient Silk Road, Turkmenabat  once connected Bukhara with Khiva and Merv. For about 300 years, Merv was the largest city in Central Asia and the Khalifat capital for eight years. During the 12th century, it was said to be the world\'s biggest city. Today Merv is a UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site with the remnants of walled cities containing mosques, monasteries, and mausoleums in its historic center. Explore some of these sights before enjoying a hearty dinner.
