Bandar-e Torkman Beach Market

The Turkmen tribes in Iran adorn Persian culture and art, giving this land a world of beauty and love. They mainly live along the eastern beaches of the Caspian Sea, breeding Turkmen horses and trading their attractive rugs and handmade products. For anyone who loves to see their local markets, there is no place better than the Bandar-e Torkaman region and its beach markets. Life flows beautifully through this market among dealers, sellers, and customers. Many Turkmen tribes buy their daily life products, such as food products, from there, but for tourism, this is a great place to see Iranian Turkmen people and their beautiful souvenirs. They offer colorful silken fabrics, handwoven tools for horse riding, tent curtains and stunning red rugs, delicate needlework with abstract designs, and their fascinating traditional clothes and unique jewelry. Although many places across Iran sell original handmade Turkmen rugs, the best way to buy a real Persian Turkmen rug woven by this tribe is to visit their local markets like Bandar-e Torkaman beach market. Visit the wonderful seaport of Bandr-e Torkaman and  its beach market. Let your eyes experience the fascinating and colorful textiles and rugs and feel how their small businesses are passionately alive in this market!

One of the main handicrafts of the Persian Turkmen tribes is carpets in different types for different usages, such as medium rugs with natural-dyed wool piles for their tents, kilim rugs, "Asmaligh" as a handwoven curtain for their wedding, horse covers, and saddlebags.

Persian Turkmen tribes are famous for their beautiful clothes, exquisite silky fabrics and unique chic jewelry. This is the best place to find their traditional customs or to buy one of those tribal necklaces of the Turkmen tribes.

Have you ever tasted this expensive food? They are full of minerals and omega-3, excellent for your health and skin, and are only provided in a few regions like Iran. You can try this luxury food at Bandar-e Torkaman beach market.

Unfortunately, there isn't any written evidence about the history of this seaport until 1926. Still, it is obvious that many Turkmen tribes that migrated to Iran chose this region for its great weather and good conditions for agriculture and fishing. This seaport, located at the eastern end of the Caspian Sea beach, mainly includes Turkmen tribes living tribal life in their tents (though today, some of them have sedentary lives in houses). Badra-e Torkaman had three wharves before, but now only one of them exists, and the only market on this beach is located near this wharf. The region is famous for its caviar and handmade rugs woven by Turkmen tribes; also, it's a fantastic tourist site for anyone who likes to visit the Turkmen tribes' culture in Iran!
