Turkmenistan
Discover amazing tours and travel packages in Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan remains one of the least-travelled countries in Central Asia, a land of white marble monuments, blazing desert craters, and Silk Road ruins that few visitors ever see firsthand. Its capital, Ashgabat, rises from the Karakum Desert in gleaming marble and gold, a city unlike almost anywhere else on earth.
Beyond the capital, travellers cross vast desert landscapes to reach the Darvaza Gas Crater, a fire pit that has burned continuously for decades, and explore the UNESCO-listed ruins of Merv and Konye-Urgench, once great cities along the Silk Road. This is a destination for the genuinely curious traveller, one drawn to history, desert landscapes, and places that remain refreshingly untouched by mass tourism.
At Travel Choice Tourism, we arrange specialist Turkmenistan itineraries for travellers from the UAE, handling the visa process, registered guides, and logistics needed to explore this rarely visited country with confidence.
