Culture Tours
Indeed, of all parts of the ancient world where early civilisations developed, Central Asia remains the least known.Ancient Turkmenistan is where the most evidence for these early civilisations have been discovered-itself one of the least known parts of the world.
Turkmenistan has some of the most fascinating monuments of Central Asia's pre-Islamic and Islamic architecture. Turkmenistan's heritage sites are beyond comparison not only for their antiquity, but also for their present condition - almost unspoilt by later reconstruction
and restoration. You can stroll around the magnificent city-sites of ancient Merv and Nisa, breathe history in the ancient capital of Khorezm, Kunya Urgench, or join the archaeologists and witness history in the newly discovered writings of Zoroastrian Margush. Come and
visit the Sufi philosophers' shrines of Meane Baba or Abu-Fazid in their simplicity and ancient beauty and travel through time amidst the ruins of medieval Dehistan in the western plains of the country.
