Karakum Desert

Did You Know?

The Karakum Desert, meaning "Black Sand," covers most of Turkmenistan, known for its vast sand dunes, extreme temperatures (hot summers, cold winters), and sparse, drought-resistant life, with a rich history tied to the Silk Road and significant natural gas reserves, while facing challenges like water scarcity, partly addressed by the Karakum Canal.
