You will visit the "Old Nisa" (the Sanctuary of the Parthian Kings), which was the capital of the Parthian Empire, which existed for 600 years and was the greatest enemy of the Roman Empire (a UNESCO site). Continue with the "Jipjak" Mosque and the Family Mausoleum of the first President of Turkmenistan. After lunch, you will go to Darvaza. The path will pass through the Karakum desert. You will be able to visit the gas crater and enjoy an incredible view of the crater. The crater surprises with its beauty, warmth, and peaceful sounds created by this giant furnace. After the tour, you will return to Ashgabat. Overnight at the hotel.

Today you will go to the village of Nohur. The village itself is located in a small depression in the mountains of the Kopetdag range, and the houses are built of local boulders cemented with mud. In addition to the main street, the other streets are very narrow, which makes it difficult for transport to move through them. The local inhabitants of Nohur are very different from other Turkmen tribes. Their villages are located in the mountainous border zone covering Turkmenistan and Iran. In the first half of the day, you will visit the underground lake Kou-Ata, which is located 107 km from Ashgabat. Kou-Ata translates as "Father of Caves". The cave will enchant you with its magnificent beauty: the total length of the cave is 230 m, its height reaches 20 m, and its width, in some places, is 57 m. The bottom of the cave is covered with blocks of dissolved limestone (stalactites). The water in the cave is warm, transparent, and emerald-colored with a temperature of 33–37 °C (you can swim in the lake there).

Today you will continue the tour of the capital of Turkmenistan. You will visit the Russian Bazaar, Lenin Square and the Ertugrul Gazi Mosque. An evening city tour is also waiting for you.
