Ashgabat, Turkmenistan: Desert Pearl of the White City
Ashgabat, the capital and largest city of Turkmenistan, is situated in the heart of Central Asia on the edge of the Karakum Desert, and is known as the "White City" because of its white marble buildings. An important hub on the ancient Silk Road, the city is a blend of Persian, Islamic and modern architecture, with landmarks such as the 75-meter-high Neutral Gate, topped by a gold-plated statue of Niyazov, and the Independence Monument, a symbol of the country's post-Independence vitality. With its arid climate, hot summers and mild winters, Ashgabat is the political, economic and cultural center of Turkmenistan, where the oil and gas industry drives the city's growth, while its unique desert cityscape and rich Central Asian flavor attract global attention.
