Erbent and Bokurdok

Erbent and Bokurdok, both surrounded by the sands of the Karakum, are villages inhabited by people of the Teke tribe. Various nomadic household and lifestyle aspects remain intact here.

Easily accessible due to their location next to the Dashoguz-Ashgabat highway, a visit here gives you a glimpse into desert life. While having a cup of tea or chal (fermented camel’s milk), you can observe the yurt construction or watch the baking of Turkmen flat bread or the milking of camels.
