Ashgabat is the capital and largest city of Turkmenistan, home to approximately 1.3 million residents. It operates on Turkmenistan Time (TMT, UTC+5), a fixed year-round offset. Turkmenistan is one of the world's most isolated and secretive nations — one of only a handful of countries that consistently ranks as the world's most authoritarian states. Yet Ashgabat is a bizarre spectacle of white marble extravagance — the city holds the Guinness World Record for the highest density of white marble-clad buildings, a result of decades of oil and gas wealth poured into grandiose architecture by successive leaders. The Darvaza gas crater (Door to Hell) — a natural gas field that collapsed and has been burning continuously since Soviet engineers set it alight in 1971 to prevent gas spread — is one of the world's most surreal and visited natural phenomena, located in the Karakum Desert about 270 km from Ashgabat. Turkmenistan sits on the world's fourth-largest natural gas reserves.
