5.00I traveled in Turkmenistan for four days with Azat, and from the very beginning he customised the entire itinerary based on my personal interests in UNESCO World Heritage sites connected to ancient civilizations and the Silk Road, including Kunya-Urgench and Merv. As I am a light sleeper and cannot rest well on overnight trains, Azat arranged a domestic flight and a comfortable hotel for my first night in Turkmenistan, which was extremely considerate. Throughout the trip, Azat treated us more like friends than clients. He even invited us into local homes, where we tried traditional Turkmen clothing and took many memorable photos. Azat and his team also made it possible for us to explore the local bazaar in Mary, which was a special experience that helped us understand local culture and everyday life. For me, the meaning of travel is not consumption but developing an open mind and showing respect for different cultures. With Azat’s professional assistance, I truly found the real meaning of travel during my four days in Turkmenistan.
