Bestway Tours & Safaris - Cultural Tours to Turkmenistan Stantours
Turkmenistan remains by far the most unexplored country along the Silk Road. In the rainbow of colours that
characterise this vast strip of land stretching between China and Persia, the Turkmen culture has preserved
some of the most nomadic and Shaman traditions. Linking Afghan, Persian and the sophisticated settled
cultures of the Central Khanates, many items and periods associated with Silk Road cultures have emerged from largely nomadic Turcoman societies.

Mary - Ancient Merv [ ongeveer een uur per auto vanaf de stad Mary ]
For many centuries, Merv was regarded as one of the richest, most highly cultured centers of the Ancient
East. Merv comprises a group of sites of ancient towns which arose and perished. Along with Baghdad,
Cairo and Damascus, Merv was one of the most inportant capitals of Islam. Its greatest period of glory was
during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, when it served as the Eastern capital of the Great Seljuks. Nebitdag Taschaus [ grens met Uzbekistan ] Turkmenabat Turkmenbaschi [ Kaspische Zee ]
Annau
The historical site Annau, 12 km to the south-east of Ashgabat, is widely acknowledged as a stopping point
along the famous ancient Silk Road. The Great Annau Mosque was built in 1446-1456, and was destroyed by
earthquake in 1948. The mosque was unique with its blue mosaic (majoilc) on the facade, which depicted dragons. Khiva Kunya-urgench
Kunya-Urgench (120 km. from Dashoguz) is the heart of ancient Khorezm. Fortunately, several outstanding architectural monuments have been preserved in Kunya-Urgench (Old Urgench). Visit the mausoleums of
Fahrad-din Razi (13th century), Tekesh Khorezmshakh (13th century), Turabek-khanum Kala (14th century),
the fortress Ak-Kala & the minaret of the mosque (62m height). It is a brilliant testament of the extraordinary skill of the Urgench school of architecture and construction. Mashad Nissa
The ruins of Old Nissa are situated near the Bagir Village, about 15 km west of Ashgabat. Old Nissa was the
capital of the Parthian Empire, one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Nissa is mentioned in the Zend –
Avesta – sacred book of Zoroastrianism. Old Nissa is located on the territory that constitutes the core of the
Parthian Empire. It was the land where the Parthian kings started their conquests and turned small Parthia into a huge empire of the ancient world that stretched from the Indus to the Euphrates. Repetek Sarachs - Achal Velayat, village of Sarachs
The mausoleum of the religious leader Abul-Fazla (1024 A.D.) is located here. This mausoleum is one of the most complete architectural works of art still standing in Turkmenistan.
