The white color craze

Ashgabat is considered to be the only city where the entire lifestyle of the city revolves around the white marble. From the buildings to the pavements, everything here is seen in white. The city is listed in the Guinness World Records for its use of white marble on such a large scale.

One of the most unique things here is the white color rule for cars. Most of the cars in the city are white in color. If someone brings a car of a different color, the car is impounded by the local authorities and the owner has to pay a fine. The condition to get the car back is to change the car’s paint and make it white!

Brighter light intensity enhanced by white marble

After 2000, the city was extensively redeveloped. More than 550 marble buildings were erected during this period. As the entire city is covered in white marble, be it the streets or the tall buildings, all reflect the light of the solar system tremendously. So even if the weather is cloudy, people should always wear sunglasses to avoid eye strain.
