Visit Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, known for its striking white marble buildings and grand monuments. See the Independence Monument (a 118-meter tall tower symbolizing national sovereignty), explore the Turkmen Carpet Museum (home to one of the world's largest handwoven carpets), and stroll through the Arch of Neutrality (a 95-meter tall tripod with a rotating golden statue of the former president). The city's unique architecture and vast public spaces, like the Alem Cultural and Entertainment Center (housing a giant Ferris wheel), offer a surreal glimpse into Turkmenistan's modern identity.
