Turkmen History Tour 6 days/5 nights

Explore Turkmenistan"s 5,000-year history on a 6-day tour, visiting key historical sites from Oghuz Khan to the Silk Road cities like Nisa, Merv, and Kunya-Urgench.

This tour is intended for travelers who travel around the world in their cars. The route is organized so that after crossing the Nukus-Kunya Urgench border from Uzbekistan, you will travel all over Turkmenistan from the north to the west along the sands of the Karakum Desert towards the seaport in the city of Turkmenbashi, from where you will continue your journey to Azerbaijan. On the way, you will get acquainted with the cultural and historical heritage of Turkmenistan, visit the huts of the tribes living in the heart of the Turkmen desert and taste the most delicious and unusual dishes cooked on fires in the open air. To be even more detailed, starting with a tour of the cultural and historical heritage in Kunya Urgench, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, we will travel to Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. On the way, we will visit the well-known gas crater with a diameter of 70 meters, which has been burning continuously for 50 years. After doing all the sightseeing in the capital, we will move on to the west of Turkmenistan, to the Avaza tourist zone. Along the way, we will visit the underground lake Kov Ata and then the stables of the Akhal-Teke horses, where you will enjoy a wonderful performance of these horses, and you will have the opportunity to ride on them, too. On arrival in Avaza, we have planned for you a boat trip along the coast of the Caspian Sea, on which you will be able to admire the sea view on one side and new buildings of the Avaza tourist zone on the other. We will finish our tour by taking you to the seaport of the city of Turkmenbashi, where you will board a ferry for the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku.
