Ashgabat, Turkmenistan

Ashgabat is the capital and the largest city of Turkmenistan in Central Asia, situated between the Karakum Desert and the Kopet Dag mountain range. The prior president of Turkmenistan transformed the city from a relatively drab Soviet capital to a city of pure white marble buildings. In 2013, the city was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's highest concentration of white marble buildings.
