Jebel (Russian: Джебел, romanized Russian: Dzhebel, Cyrillic Turkmen: Җебел) is a town in Balkan Province, Turkmenistan, that is subordinate to the city of Balkanabat.[1] It is the nearest municipality to the Mollagara Sanitorium, which is four kilometers distant.[2][3]

Etymology

Jebel means "mountain" in Arabic, and refers in this case to a nearby peak in the Balkhan Range.[4]

Economy

Jebel serves as a support and logistics center for oil extraction operations in Balkan Province, particularly on the Cheleken Peninsula. It is also a center for mining and milling of table salt. In 2008 a kaolin plant was opened in Jebel.[5] In 2011 Turkish Polimeks built Turkmenistan's largest cement plant in Jebel, capable of producing one million tons of cement per year.[6][7] In 2014 a plant was opened for packaging medicinal mud and sea salt.[8]

Archeological site

Four kilometers east of the Jebel train station in the Greater Balkhan range is the Jebel cave, in which A.P. Okladnikov found in 1949-1950 a multilayer archeological site dating from the Mesolithic through the Neolithic and Early Bronze ages.[9]

Transportation

Jebel is the site of a municipal airport. The airport is scheduled for renovation and upgrading.[2][10][11] The airport does not offer scheduled passenger service.[12] Jebel is located at the junction of the M37 highway and the P-17 highway, which leads to the Cheleken Peninsula.[13] The rail line between Türkmenbaşy and Ashgabat passes through Jebel, which has its own rail station.
