Set your eyes on the fiery gates of the Darvaza Gas Crater, also known as the 'Door to Hell'. Imagine sitting by a campfire, except it's a burning pit that's been lit for decades! Roast marshmallows at your own risk, but don't forget to enjoy the surreal glow after sunset.
Wanna see something that'll knock your socks off and make them roll up into a carpet? The Turkmen Carpet Museum is like Aladdin's cave, if he collected carpets instead of lamps. It's home to the world's largest hand-woven carpet, so massive, you'll wonder if it's a magic flying one. Prepare to weave through history!
Rub your eyes, pinch yourself or do whatever it takes to believe you're seeing the grandiose Oguzkhan Palace. It's like stepping into a fairy tale, with enough gold trim to make Midas jealous and high-flying flags flapping in the wind. This pad is presidential, so no tours, but snagging a selfie in front will have your friends thinking you've visited a palace on another planet!
