Temirbaba Aktau Turkmenbashi Caspian Freight Remote

A remote desert landscape near the Caspian Sea coast characterizes the 458-kilometer border between Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. This is not a common route for tourists; it is a strategic frontier for regional trade and transport between two of Central Asia’s major energy producers. Your journey across this line is an undertaking into a sparsely populated and seldom-visited corner of the region.

The main and most reliable border crossing for you to use is at Temirbaba. It is located on the main highway that connects the Kazakh port city of Aktau with the Turkmen city of Turkmenbashi. This crossing is essential for the road freight that moves along the eastern coast of the Caspian.
