Workation in Mary: the essentials
An oasis city in the Karakum Desert, Mary stands on the Murgab River and was founded in 1884 about 30 km from the ruins of ancient Merv, whose name it carried until 1937. Those ruins, once among the great cities of the medieval Islamic world and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are the main reason foreigners come. The city itself, with about 167,000 residents, is the capital of Mary Region and lives from the cotton and natural gas of the area. Mary International Airport is about 6 km away. As elsewhere in Turkmenistan, strict entry rules stand in the way of longer stays.
