Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan is located in Central Asia. Large parts of the country are covered by the wide expanses of the Kara Kum desert, also known as the “Black Sand Desert”. Some of the most popular destinations to visit include the archaeological ruins at Merv, and the capital city of Ashgabat, which has become known as the “Las Vegas of the Kara Kum” due to its modern buildings and desert setting.
