Türkmenabat, Central Asian administrative center on the Amu Darya River, Turkmenistan
Türkmenabat stretches along both banks of the Amu Darya River, functioning as the capital of Lebap Province with an estimated population of 254,000 inhabitants.
Russian Cossacks established New-Chardjuy settlement in 1886 during the construction of the Trans-Caspian railway, marking the beginning of modern Türkmenabat.
The city maintains several bazaars, including the World Bazaar, where merchants trade textiles, produce, and traditional Turkmen crafts from nearby regions.
The city connects to major destinations through its international airport, inaugurated in 2018, and serves as a central railway junction for eastern Turkmenistan.
Türkmenabat operates the largest river port on the Amu Darya, managing water transport and supporting cotton processing industries in the region.
