This 5-day tour is meant for those people that are looking for a short and extremely varied trip during the Christmas holidays and want to see Turkmenistan attractions. The tour includes a comprehensive visit of Ashgabat and its post-independence architecture; a trip to Merw, the most famous of Turkmenistan’s UNESCO historical parks, a visit to the Weekend Bazaar, to private stables of the renowned Ahalteke horses, and last but not least a trip to the famous gas crater at Darwaza in the vast Karakum Desert.
