Introduction to Serakhs, Turkmenistan
Serakhs is an ancient city in the southeastern part of Turkmenistan's Akhal region, located in the border region with Iran, about 290 kilometers from the capital Ashgabat. Located on the southern edge of the Karakum Desert, the city has an arid climate and was historically an important trading hub and oasis settlement on the Silk Road.
Serax has a long history, dating back to the 6th century BC, and was once the military and cultural center of the Parthian and Seljuk dynasties. Remnants of Seljuk-era architecture, such as the 11th-century mausoleum of Sheikh Abu Fazl, reflecting Islamic architecture, are preserved around the city. The local economy is predominantly agricultural, relying on irrigation for the cultivation of cotton, wheat and melons, while animal husbandry is also well developed.
The population of modern Serax is around 15,000, with a predominantly ethnic Turkmen population that speaks the Turkmen language and retains traditional nomadic cultural practices. The city's infrastructure is relatively simple, making it a low-key destination for exploring Turkmenistan's history and border flavors.
