Lebap is the easternmost province of Turkmenistan. The capital is Turkmenabat. Major industries include natural gas extraction, hydrocarbon processing, sulfur and potash mining, and cotton production. One of Turkmenistan's major oil refineries is located in Seýdi. The Amu Darya flows through this province. Two major bridges across the Amu Darya were commissioned in 2017, one for rail and one for motor vehicles, linking Turkmenabat with the town of Farap, which borders Uzbekistan. Major tourist attractions include the world's longest dinosaur tracks near Koýtendag (search OSM for "Dinosaur Plateau") and the 10th-century Daýahatyn caravansaray northwest of Turkmenabat.
