Getting there & away
The only way to see the site without an exhausting walk is by car. From Mary expect to pay US$7.50 for a car and driver for four hours (the minimum amount of time needed to see the main monuments). Buses go between Mary and Bairam Ali every half hour or so; the journey takes about 45 minutes. Guided tours are available from any travel agency and this is the way most people see Merv. Yevgenia Golubeva in Mary includes Merv on her tour of the area.
