Description
Embark on a captivating journey that begins with breakfast at the hotel, setting the tone for a day full of exploration and discovery. As the sun begins its ascent at around 08:00, we set off for Mary City, a distance of approximately 375 kilometers, promising a scenic drive of around 5 to 6 hours, including refreshing stops along the way.
Our first stop reveals a piece of history at the ruins of the "Seyitjemaletdin" mosque, dating back to the 15th century. About 14 km from Ashgabat, near the picturesque village of Annau, these ancient vestiges whisper stories of bygone eras and invite us to immerse ourselves in their past.
Continuing our journey, we will venture to explore the evocative ruins of the ancient settlement of Abiverd, located about 125 km from Ashgabat. Amidst the desert landscape, these vestiges stand as mute witnesses to centuries of human civilization, offering a glimpse into Turkmenistan's rich heritage.
As the day progresses, we delight in a leisurely lunch en route, savoring both the flavors of the region and the camaraderie of fellow travelers. Energized and captivated by our encounters with history, we resume our journey to the vibrant city of Mary.
Nestled in a vast oasis in the middle of the Garagum Desert, Mary unfolds its charms as Turkmenistan's third largest city. Founded in 1884 as a Russian military administrative center, it is testament to the region's dynamic past. Formerly known as Merv until 1937, Mary exudes a blend of historical significance and modern vitality.
Arriving in the heart of the city, we will find rest and comfort at the esteemed 4* hotel "Mary", where warm hospitality awaits us. We will have the afternoon at leisure to enjoy Mary's ambiance, perhaps strolling through its bustling streets or simply relaxing in the serene surroundings of the hotel.
In the evening, we gather for dinner at a local restaurant, sampling the flavors of Turkmen cuisine while reflecting on the day's adventures. With our hearts full and our minds enriched, we retire for the night, anticipating the wonders that tomorrow's journey will bring.
