Introduction to Annau, Turkmenistan
Annau is the capital of Turkmenistan's Akhal region, located in the south-central part of the country, about 8 kilometers from the capital Ashgabat. An important administrative and agricultural center, the city is situated on the edge of the Karakum Desert, with an arid climate and an economy based on cotton cultivation and animal husbandry. The city's name means "new home" in Turkmen, reflecting its modern orientation.
History and culture
Annau has a long history, with archaeological discoveries in the neighborhood dating back to the Bronze Age. In recent years, the city has become known for the completion of the An-Nau Mosque in 2017, which features a magnificent Turkish-style dome and four towers and has become a landmark of Turkmenistan's Islamic culture. Traditional local handicrafts and carpet weaving techniques also reflect the cultural heritage of the Turkmen nation.
Economy and infrastructure
The economy of Annau is based on agriculture, especially the production of high-quality cotton, while animal husbandry, such as sheep farming, plays an important role. The city's infrastructure is constantly improving, and it is well connected to Ashgabat by highway, benefiting from the economic radiation of the capital. The government has promoted modernization projects in recent years, including the construction of residential areas and public facilities, in order to promote sustainable development in the region.
