 A city that has all its cars in white color only, Ashgabat city


One of the strangest cities around the earth, and one of its strangeness is that it is forbidden to drive any car on the street other than the white color.

Ashgabat (Turkmen: Aşgabat, Russian: Ашхабáд, pronounced Ashgabat) is the capital and largest city of Turkmenistan. It has a population of 1,031,992 people. This city is located between the Qara-Qom desert and the Kobe Dag mountain range. The Qara-Qom Canal, which carries the waters of the Jejun River, passes through the city from east to west. The majority of Ashgabat residents are of Turkmen origin, with ethnic minorities of Russians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis.


The city entered the Guinness Book of Records several times after recording the highest flagpole, the largest complex of fountains, and the largest urban embodiment of a star. As the city with the largest density of white marble buildings, the city has 543 luxurious marble buildings, although it is referred to as the city of the dead; Because it looks empty, partly due to the country's isolated culture, Turkmenistan is one of the least visited countries in the world.

The authorities there informed the car importers of the necessity of importing only white cars into the country.

Mystery still dominates the fate of cars on the streets of Turkmenistan in colors other than white, as sources confirmed that the police would refrain from issuing or renewing driving licenses before painting cars in white, which was denied by other sources.
