The excavations are impressive in scale, many large sites are carefully preserved and closed from precipitation. It is very interesting to visit and walk along the ancient streets. The territory is very large, if you go around everything, you can spend the whole day. But there are questions about the restored expositions - where did the ceilings of 2.5 m high in a pottery workshop of the 9th century come from, as in a modern high-rise building? Who will spend so much material on unnecessary height, and then also heat all this extra volume?

A must-visit. It is better to allocate a whole day separately, the area is very large. I literally ran at a gallop, there was no time. And I really wanted to explore everything slowly. It reminds me of the fairy tale about Aladdin. He probably lived in a city like this

A very interesting place, the remains of an ancient settlement. Partially restored, and some of the ancient ones are ruined. All this is in the open spaces of the steppe, which is very interesting and authentic

A great place, many buildings have been renovated. There are signs with descriptions everywhere. You can walk at least during the day. The entrance fee is 200 tenge.

It's worth a visit. Be sure to take a guide. You need to know the story! Many people come here with children.

Let's go because this is our story.But in general, nothing interesting. We checked the box for ourselves that we were in Otrar

The structure and history of ancient Otrar are very impressive. Underground structures for insulation of the entire building indicate that back in the days of the 14th century there was such a thing as underfloor heating.

It's just an amazing place. I've dreamed of coming here since I was a kid. To see the life of our ancestors. A city that has been under the onslaught of Genghis Khan's army for more than 6 months. I advise everyone to visit the ancient settlement of Otrar.

It's interesting, but without a guide, it's not entirely clear what was where in the city, how the excavations were conducted.
