Have you ever heard about Turkistan?

In the heart of southern Kazakhstan, Turkistan feels like stepping into the pages of Silk Road history. Ancient and spiritual, yet full of life today, it’s a place that surprises far beyond the famous mausoleum.

🕌 Khoja Ahmed Yasawi Mausoleum – a breathtaking UNESCO site, blending history, spirituality, and Timurid architecture.

🌿 Caravanserai Complex – an immersive cultural space bringing the Silk Road back to life with performances, shops, and exhibits.

🕊️ Spiritual soul – known as the “second Mecca” in Central Asia, a pilgrimage destination filled with meaning.

🏛️ Museums & heritage – from archaeological finds to Kazakh traditions, a great way to dive deeper into local history.

🚶♀️ Atmosphere – calm streets, lively bazaars, and the mix of old and new that gives the city its charm.
