It's been a wild several days in Turkmenistan. In my opinion, this is (by a long shot) the world's most bizarre country.

In this video, I explain the 10 strangest things that I find about Turkmen culture -- from the thousands of white-marble buildings to the shockingly empty streets, a massive fire crater in the desert that hasn't stopped burning for 50 years, and the heavy censorship of the internet.

Turkmenistan is essentially the North Korea of Central Asia. Both the capital cities of Pyongyang and Ashgabat feel eerily similar when walking around. The only major difference is that the people of North Korea are oppressed, whereas the people of Turkmenistan seem to be warm, friendly, and hospitable.

Please share any thoughts/comments/questions about Turkmenistan and I'll be happy to answer!

Turkmenistan: World’s Strangest Dictatorship | Fake Image VS Reality

This is one of the most mysterious countries in the world! The Turkmen people live without freedom and are often scared to share their true experience with outsiders. It’s almost impossible to get a visa to come here, but I had a chance to visit Turkmenistan several years ago, and I would love to share my thoughts on it with you.

Why the streets are always empty, why you can’t grab a bite at local cafes, why Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow needs so many palaces, why everything here is made of gold and white marble and what Jennifer Lopez had to apologise for? More about the strangest country in the world in my new video!

Have you ever heard of ASHGABAT, TURKMENISTAN before? If not, then get ready to learn about how strange it is here in my 170th country.

I've spent the last 24 hours roaming around the capital city of Ashgabat, and IT REMINDS ME EXACTLY OF PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA in just about every way possible. Huge fancy buildings with very few people inside perfectly manicured gardens and boulevards with nobody on them and this eerie feeling that someone is watching over my shoulder 24/7. TURKMENISTAN IS WEIRD.

People had told me that Ashgabat was strange, but I had no idea to what extent it was until arriving here.... Find out everything you need to know about Turkmenistan's capital in this video!

How many of you guys actually knew about this place? Would love to see a show of hands :)

Top 10 Places To Visit In Turkmenistan

Top 10 Places To Visit In Turkmenistan

Unveiling Ashgabat, Turkmenistan: A Journey Through the City of Marble and Mystery

Discover the intriguing city of Ashgabat, where the streets of its new white marble districts are eerily quiet, earning it the nickname ‘city of the dead’. But don’t be fooled by its stillness - this city is full of surprises. In fact, it holds the Guinness World Record for having the most white marble on Earth. Join us as we uncover the secrets of this fascinating destination.

Ashgabat is the capital and largest city of Turkmenistan, located between the Karakum Desert and the Kopetdag mountain range in Central Asia. Founded in 1881 on the basis of an Ahal Teke tribal village, it was made the capital of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic in 1924. The city was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1948 but has since been extensively rebuilt under Saparmurat Niyazov's White City urban renewal project.

The city is known for its lavish marble palaces, gleaming gold domes, and vast expanses of manicured parkland. Built almost entirely off the receipts of Turkmenistan’s oil and gas revenues, Ashgabat’s transformation continues at break-neck speed. Whole neighborhoods have faced the wrecking ball in the name of progress, with gleaming white marble monoliths springing up overnight like mushrooms.

Ashgabat is home to many popular attractions such as the Turkmen Museum of Fine Arts, which features sculptures, museums, and art galleries; Turkmenistan Independence Monument; World of Turkmenbashi Tales; Ertuğrul Gazi Mosque; Ashgabat National Museum of History; Monument to the Constitution; and Russian Bazaar.

Join us as we explore this unique city and discover its many wonders. From its stunning architecture to its rich history and culture, Ashgabat is a destination like no other. Don't miss this opportunity to experience one of Central Asia's most fascinating cities.

The city where DOGS ARE ILLEGAL | Ashgabat, Turkmenistan

Ashgabat Turkmenistan is one of the strangest cities I have ever made a travel vlog about.

Recently brought to the attention of the world through John Oliver's popular program Last Week Tonight, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, Turkmenistan's Dictator/President is quite a character.

However the craziness it didn't all start with him. Turkmenistan's first president, Turkmenbashi, set quite a powerful precedent.

He instated many strange rules for the country, and for the city of Ashgabat. No opera, it's too noisy, no makeup on television, the natural beauty of the Turkmen people is enough, and no dogs. Dogs were not allowed in the Capital city of Ashgabat due to their foul odor.... what?

We only had a short day in Ashgabat before continuing our trip to Merv, and eventually to roast marshmallows over the door to hell. We were able to do some sightseeing to the Arc of Neutrality, which is topped with a golden rotating statue of Turkmenbashi, also the wedding palace of happiness, and the world's largest indoor Ferris Wheel, which is the next vlog ????????

We visited in early 2019, but it's worth putting on your radar for 2020. The new president Gurbanguly has opened up the country much more than it used to be. Getting the VISA wasn't a walk in the park, but our friends at Lupine Travel set everything up for us.. Check out their trips to some of the lesser travelled countries!

The World's Most BIZARRE Building? | Ashgabat Turkmenistan vlog

Welcome to Ashgabat, capital of one of the strangest countries I've been to. This is the second travel vlog in our Turkmenistan series!

While travelling through Ashgabat, things seem strange. Everything is vibrantly white and gold, and there is no one around... If you're looking for the strangest and most bizarre places to visit in 2020, Turkmenistan might be it.

The presidents of this country have taken a liking to collecting Guinness World Records. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, Turkmenistan's Dictator/President and the former (now deceased) president Turkmenbashi have decorated the capital of this closed republic with white marble, and buildings built to break records.

Highest density of white marble clad buildings, largest architectural star, and this... the largest indoor Ferris Wheel, and many many more.

We were able to take a few hours to experience this giant space compass for ourselves, and even take if for a ride.

We visited in early 2019, but it's worth putting on your radar for 2020. The new president Gurbanguly has opened up the country much more than it used to be. Getting the VISA wasn't a walk in the park, but our friends at Lupine Travel set everything up for us.. Check out their trips to some of the lesser travelled countries!

Туркменистан — самая безумная страна бывшего СССР. Культ личности тут довели до размеров идиотизма, цензура работает как в худшие годы Сталина, а люди страдают от голода, нищеты и постоянного страха.

Местные повелители берут себе пафосные имена Туркменбаши и Аркадаг, а граждане бегут в Турцию, чтобы хоть как-то выжить. Страна продает нефть и газ, строит дворцы из мрамора и статуи из золота, но ее люди вынуждены уезжать в эмиграцию. Сегодня я расскажу вам про Туркменистан, страну сбрендившего режима, бедности и разрухи. Получил гражданство Туркменистана.

Spending $20 at a Turkmenistan Market

Ashgabat Turkmenistan is a strange place. I have never seen so much gold and marble in my life, but the streets seemed empty. In this Turkmenistan travel vlog, I join my friend Lexie Alford and make a trip to a local Turkmen market called the Russian Bazaar. Here, we tried street food, interacted with the locals, and witnessed some real culture.

I say real culture, because Turkmenistan is known as the North Korea of Central Asia. The president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow has a tight grip on the country, and it's very hard to get off the normal tourist path.

Beside our hotel was a local market, we asked our guide if we could visit, and he said if we really wanted to we could, but not to bring a camera because of police. The locals had been so nice to us, so thought we would take a small chance.

One more thing to note. After I posted the first Turkmenistan travel vlog in Ashgabat, I had said that we had our US dollars exchanged to Turkmen Manat at 1 to 13. Locals commented that it's actually suppose to be 1 to 20. It's funny though, from an atm it's 1 to 3.5.
Very happy we got our money on the black market.
