Turkmenistan Tours

Just like other Central Asia countries, most of residents in Turkmenistan are Muslims. Travelers should avoid wearing camisole and shorts on the street but dresses and pants below the knees are fine. Besides, females should cover their heads and shoulders with scarf and males should wear the long or medium sleeve shirts when visiting the mosques.

What's more, travelers should also notice that some of the buildings and statues are not allowed to take pictures. Your guide will remind you while traveling.

Both credit card and EURO cash are not very popular in Turkmenistan. Only some 5-star hotels could accept payment by credit cards. You are suggested to prepare some USD cash for your Turkmenistan tours, and you could change them into Turkmen manat at hotels, banks or international airports.

Since the oil and gas resources are very rich in Turkmenistan, the flight tickets are cheap. Besides, there are regular departure flights from Ashgabat to almost all the big cities, which will save you plenty of time and energy. For the cities or towns that could not be reached by flights, you can take a train.

Normally, travelers holding a tourist visa must have Turkmenistan packages accompanied by a local tour guide. Your guide will provide you professional introductions and help you at any time as long as you need. But for visitors holding a transit visa and only passing through Turkmenistan, there is no need to book a tour with local agencies.
