Travel - Turkmenistan
To the north of Iran lies the arid expanse of Turkmenistan, stretching from
the Caspian Sea in the west to the borders of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan
in the east. This sparsely-populated country is home to a proud nomadic
people famous for their fine Arab horses, huge, shaggy woollen hats, and
exquisite carpets. Turkmenistan boasts one of the world’s greatest archaeological
sites at Merv, inhabited for more than 7,000 years, as well as some of Central
Asia’s best wildlife trekking, close to the Afghan border at Badkhyz.

Lonely
Planet - Turkmenistan
The most curious of the Central Asian republics, Turkmenistan resembles
an Arab Gulf state without the money. It's the second largest Central Asian
country, but four-fifths of it consist of an inhospitable lunar-like desert
called the Karakum which conceals unexploited oil and gas deposits.
