What you can expect

  • Embark on a 3-day journey from Almaty along one of Kazakhstan’s most fascinating historical and cultural routes. Visit the sacred Arystan Bab Mausoleum, explore the ruins of the ancient city of Otyrar, and experience the unique atmosphere of Turkestan — the spiritual and historical heart of the region.

    The highlight of the tour is the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remarkable architectural monuments in Central Asia.

    The itinerary also includes visits to the Keruen Saray complex, the Domalak Ana Mausoleum, the Akmeshit Cave, and the historic mausoleums of Aisha Bibi and Babaji Khatun.

    September is one of the best times to explore southern Kazakhstan. With the summer heat fading, long drives, guided walks, and sightseeing become much more comfortable. This tour is perfect for travellers seeking to discover UNESCO heritage, the legacy of the Great Silk Road, and the authentic culture of Kazakhstan.
