More about us

After a series of TV programmes about tourism and travel, spectators of the Italian TV channel «Rai Tre» voted Turkmenistan as the best travel destination in the «history» category. They suggest that Turkmenistan is very rich in extraordinary historic sites, dating from as early as the Bronze Age (Altyn Depe and Margiana) through the Iron Age and the Hellenistic era, which began there after the campaigns of Alexander the Great, to Parthian period Old Nisa and numerous priceless monuments of the Medieval period especially in Kunya-Urgench.
Subscribers of the channel admitted that Turkmenistan really is a treasury of Silk Road relics, capable to satisfy the tastes of the most sophisticated history explorers.
