The 9 halls display figurines of Athens, Eros, silver gilded griffin, horn-shaped ivory vessels-rhytons of the Parthian era, gold jewelries, medallions-stamps from Margiana and Buddhist artifacts. There are also a fossilized piece of wood of the Paleozoic period, aged 270,000,000, dinosaurs’ footprints, an 820-kg meteorite fallen in Kunya-Urgench in 1998 and a lot more. Then you will continue your visit to Ferris wheel, Neutrality Arch, Earthquake Memorial, Wedding Palace, Independence Park and Ertogrul Ghazi Mosque. Night is at the hotel.
In the morning is drive to Kow-Ata underground lake which is located 107 km from Ashgabat. The Turkmen name Kow-Ata means ‘Father of caves’. At first glance, this underground area appears like a magnificent auditorium: the overall length of the cave is 230 m, its height reaches 20 m, and its width is at some points 57 m. The bottom of the cave is covered with lumps of dissolved limestone (stalagmites), and its warm and gushing water is clear and emerald colored. The water has a constant temperature of 33–37°C (you should swim in a lake). Then the tour will continue in Nokhur. The village itself fills a small depression valley in the mountains of the Kopet Dag Range, and the houses are built with local boulders cemented with mud. Apart from the main street through the middle of the town, the streets are so narrow that they only just fit a car between the high stone retaining walls on each side. The Nohkur people who populate this remote mountain village are quite different to other Turkmen tribes. They live in a handful of villages in the mountainous border area spanning Turkmenistan and Iran. Nokhur is the largest village with just a thousand or maybe two thousand people. Afterwards we will continue our way back to Ashgabat. On the way visit horse farm, enjoy short horse show. Night is at the hotel.
After breakfast, you will drive to Ashgabat where you will continue tour to the Carpet Museum. Established in 1994, it has the largest collection of Turkmen carpets, ranging from the medieval through to the 21th century, including over 1000 carpets originated in the 18th and 19th centuries. Hotel accommodation and rest. After it you will visit Russian bazaar for buy some souvenirs, Lenin’s square and Ylham park.
