About Ashgabat

Ashgabat is striking and unusual, with marble avenues and a very formal feel 🏛️✨. For digital nomads, it’s generally **not an easy base**: internet access can be restricted, connectivity may be unreliable, and the city has a highly controlled environment. It’s best for short visits or those with a very specific need, not for a flexible remote-work lifestyle 🌐🚫
