The Turkmen are one of the oldest tribes in Afghanistan. They live mostly in the north of the country, such as Jawzjan, Faryab, and Sar-e-Pul. The Turkmen cuisine is very delicious and nutritious. One of their most famous dishes is "Chakdarmeh." Chakdarmeh is a delicious type of rice that is made with rice, meat, and onions, and a clove of garlic is also placed between the rice. They cook all these ingredients in their own way in a pot. The Turkmen clothes are very special and beautiful. Turkmen women wear Darz clothes decorated with colourful and floral designs, and a type of hat that is tied around their heads, which is called "Takht." They are also the best carpet weavers.
