Nestled between the Kopet Dag range and the Kara Kum desert, Ashgabat is a flat, sometimes dusty city twinkling with unique architecture. As a marker of Turkmenistan's official neutrality, the city's most recognizable monument, the Neutrality Arch, rotates during the daylight hours, facing the sun throughout the entire day. The city is home to many mosques and markets, as well as important museums, including one memorializing the 1948 earthquake that decimated the population.

This is a great way to get a perspective on the “white marble city”, as well as being a fun excursion for two or three hours - perhaps more if you stop for a meal at the top. On a semi-cloudy day in late May, the cable car and summit area were close to empty, which didn’t detract from the spectacular views of rugged landscape and gleaming Ashgabat. That peculiar thing of passing over Iranian territory to then land in a Turkmen exclave, still within Iran, lends a certain frisson to the experience. Taxis are the only practical transport option for most tourists, with charges by the hour from pick-up, through waiting and then to final destination. The range is around 60-70 Manat per hour. The cable cars were comfortable enough but might get very hot in full summer sunlight, so I’d take a cold drink for what is quite a long ride. But don’t miss it if you’ve time.
