The tour begins at the Farap border crossing (on the Uzbekistan side — the Alat checkpoint). You need to travel independently from Bukhara to the border (the distance is approximately 100 km). After passing through passport and customs control on the Turkmen side, you will be met by a professional guide who will accompany you throughout the entire two-day route.
The key highlight of the program is Ancient Merv, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the oldest and best-preserved oasis cities on the Great Silk Road. You will see the majestic Mausoleum of Sultan Sanjar, the Erk-Kala and Gyaur-Kala citadels, and learn about the centuries-old history of what was once the world's largest metropolis.
In addition to historical excursions, the tour includes a deep immersion into Turkmen traditions. The program includes a visit to the colorful Green Bazaar in Turkmenabat, as well as an exclusive ethnographic folklore show. A special feature of the trip is a master class by local artisans, where you can personally see the process of creating traditional products.
Yes, this 2-day tour is perfectly designed as a round-trip route for travelers from Uzbekistan. The program begins and ends at the Farap border, allowing you to return seamlessly to Bukhara or continue to other cities in Uzbekistan after completing the excursion in Turkmenistan.
The tour begins at the Farap border crossing (the border between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan), which is located near Bukhara. After passing through passport and customs control on the Turkmen side, you will be met by a representative of our team to begin the tour program.
The program covers the country's key sites: the ruins of Ancient Merv (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the white-marble architecture of Ashgabat, and the famous Darvaza gas crater ('Gates of Hell') in the Karakum Desert, where an overnight stay is planned.
The tour concludes on the fourth day. You have two options to choose from: a transfer to the Howdan (Gaudan) border crossing to continue your journey to Iran, or a transfer to Ashgabat International Airport for your flight out of the country.
Yes, the first day of the program includes a transfer from Mary to Ashgabat by night train. Additionally, one of the nights will be spent in authentic conditions — at a campsite near the Darvaza gas crater, which allows you to see the crater at night.
Since Kunya-Urgench is not only a UNESCO historical monument but also an important pilgrimage site (the 'Uch-Yuz-Altmys' shrine), visitors are advised to follow a modest dress code: clothing should cover the shoulders and knees. For a comfortable and informative journey, it is recommended to hire professional guides.
This itinerary is perfect for travelers planning a transit entry into Turkmenistan via the Shavat border crossing (from Uzbekistan) and exit via Farap. It is designed for those who want to see the key sights (Darvaza, Ashgabat, Merv, Kunya-Urgench) at a comfortable pace, without rushing, combining visits to UNESCO historical sites with the natural beauty of the Karakum Desert.
Yes, it is highly recommended to stay overnight in a desert camp or yurt. Although you can see the crater during the day, it is after dark that the breathtaking spectacle of the 'Gates of Hell' is revealed, which is the main reason to visit this place. It can get cold in the desert at night, so be sure to bring warm clothing even in the summer.
For most foreign citizens, it is necessary to obtain a visa or a Letter of Invitation (LOI) in advance. It is also important to carry cash (USD or EUR), as it is preferred for exchange and small expenses. Keep in mind that mobile network coverage on the highways can be unstable, so download offline maps in advance and always keep a supply of drinking water in the car.
Yes, the route can be shortened, but this will inevitably lead to the exclusion or reduction of time spent visiting Ashgabat or ancient Merv. 7 days is considered an optimal balance, allowing you to see all the country's 'must-see' locations without 'checking boxes' and taking into account travel time and border formalities.
