Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

\n\n\nGetting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Driving is a convenient way to reach Merv. From Ashgabat, take the M37 highway towards Mary. The drive takes around three to four hours, covering a distance of approximately 310km. This option allows you to have flexibility and explore the site at your own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regular bus services operate between Ashgabat and Mary. Buses depart from the main bus stations in both cities and take approximately four to five hours to reach Mary. From there, you can hire a taxi or take a local bus to Merv, which is located about 30km east of Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trains run daily from Ashgabat to Mary and the journey takes six to seven hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
