Ashgabat- You must go there!
Steppe Journeys的点评
点评：We are doing the 23 day Cental Asia (5 ‘Stans’ tour, plus Mary & Merv. This review is part 1 of 5 covering Turkmenistan.
Our guide Ana met us at the airport after am ‘interesting’ passage through customs. We headed toward Mary - a drive of some 4-5 hours with Ana and our driver Roshan.
The Bazaar was worth a look as was sampling some of the local foods :)
We explored the Great Kyz Kala, the ancient Citadel & the Ibn Zayd mosque at Merv (amongst other things)
Then returned to Ashgabat.
WOW !!!!
Ashgabat is like nothing I’ve ever seen. After the devastating earthquake that levelled the old citiy in 1948 it has been totally rebuilt It is now an incredible array of architectural wonder, all in stunning white marble. Furthermore, it has extra wide roads with beautiful white street lamps, plus the cars, buses & trucks are all white. (Bar a very small number of exceptions in light grey & gold).
At nighttime it is equally impressive with multi coloured building lights offset by the green lights around the base of the light poles.
The National Museum of Geology was worth a look as was Nissa and too many other sites to spell out.
We farewelled our very safe driver Roshan before another night at the magnificent Sport Hotel.
Ana introduced our new driver Meleise. We departed for the first leg of the 4 - 5 hour drive (on the worst highway I have ever traveled due to the high & low temperatures & large number of trucks) to the desert to spend a night in a Yurt (another great experience) which included a stop at the natural gas crater burning for the past 55 years
The second 4-5 hour leg from the desert Yurt to Dashoguz followed. Throughout our driver Meleise was amazing. He knew every pothole, every off-road shortcut & made an extremely difficult drive safe and memorable.
Ana was a great guide, spoke excellent English, was knowledgeable, entertaining, kind and had a great sense of humour.
Steppe Journeys…. Perhaps my favourite holiday ever!
Turkmenistan will be hard to top!!!

翻译：我们正在进行为期23天的中亚之旅（游览5个“斯坦”国家，还包括马里和梅尔夫）。这篇评论是关于土库曼斯坦的5篇系列文章中的第一篇。
在经历了一番“有趣”的海关手续后，我们的导游安娜在机场迎接了我们。随后，在安娜以及司机罗尚的陪同下，我们踏上了前往马里的旅程——车程大约4到5小时。
那里的集市值得一逛，品尝当地美食也很有趣呢 :)
我们还游览了梅尔夫的大基兹卡拉城堡、古老的要塞以及伊本·扎伊德清真寺（还有其他景点）。
最后我们回到了阿什哈巴德。
太棒了！！阿什哈巴德是我从未见过的城市。1948年，一场毁灭性的地震夷平了这座城市的旧城区，之后它被彻底重建。如今，这里到处都是令人惊叹的建筑杰作，全部采用华丽的白色大理石建造。此外，这里的道路异常宽阔，路边有漂亮的白色路灯；汽车、巴士和卡车也全都是白色的（只有极少数例外，为浅灰色或金色）。夜晚时分，这里的景色同样令人惊叹：五彩斑斓的建筑物灯光与灯柱底部的绿色灯光交相辉映。
国家地质博物馆值得一逛，尼萨 likewise也值得参观，此外还有太多景点就不一一列举了。
在又度过了一个美好的夜晚后，我们在宏伟的斯波特酒店向极其可靠的司机罗尚道别。
安娜向我们介绍了新来的司机梅莱塞。我们开始了这段耗时4到5小时的行程的第一段路途（走的这条公路是我所走过的最糟糕的公路，因为气温忽冷忽热且卡车数量众多）。我们要前往沙漠，在蒙古包里过夜（这又是一次很棒的体验），途中还顺道参观了已经燃烧了55年的天然气喷火坑。
之后又开始了从沙漠中的蒙古包前往达绍古兹的第二段4到5小时的行程。在整个过程中，我们的司机梅莱塞表现得非常出色。他对路上的每一个坑洼都了如指掌。走遍了每一条越野捷径，让这段极其艰难的行程变得既安全又令人难忘。
安娜是一位出色的向导：英语说得极好，知识渊博，风趣幽默，待人友善且极具幽默感。
Steppe Journeys……或许是我度过的最棒的假期！
土库曼斯坦的体验实在难以超越！！！
