Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is located on the ancient Silk Road with cities Tasjkent, beautiful Bukhara and Samarkand. It is really the heart of Asia, with very long travel in each direction to get to an ocean or sea. The large Aral sea has shrunk by 90%... Uzbekistan and Liechtenstein are the only "double land-locked" countries in the world.

Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan is a land-locked country bordering the Caspian sea with Ashgabat as its capital. Turkmenistan has been widely criticized for human rights and not-so-free elections. It has a varied landscape with dry deserts and mountains. One tourist attraction is the Darvaza Gas Crater, that has been burning for decades.
