Turkmenistan
There are places on the world map that are not so easy to get to, and this makes them seem even more attractive. Turkmenistan is one such place. There are many rumors and stories about it: it is a closed country with its own unique way of life, seemingly living by its own rules.
Why visit?
To get here, desire alone is not enough—you need preparation and a willingness to adapt to local customs. But the reward is a completely different world, where modern white marble palaces stand side by side with ancient ruins, and in the evenings, when the heat of the day subsides, it seems as if time has stopped here.
