I am very glad that I had the chance to visit such an amazing place, the ancient city of Turkestan. One of the holy places is the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. It is very beautiful, majestic, Divine. It becomes easy and peaceful in this place. I really wanted to get acquainted with the work of the Islamic saint. I managed to find the book only in electronic form by Hikmet Khoja Akhmet Yassawi (as the name on the book says) and printed it out. It is very interesting to come into contact with the history of Islam. I really want to come to these Wonderful places again. And I really liked the city of Turkestan, along with its inhabitants. Many thanks to those who have preserved this legacy.

This place needs to be evaluated in two categories. As a historical place, it is a magnificent complex that has passed through the centuries. I really like that some parts have preserved their historical appearance and structure. As a tourist destination, this place still needs to be developed and developed. Entrance is paid, and there is a chance that you will not really see anything. The last time I was there (and I was there five times), the main hall was closed for reconstruction, as a result, a couple of rooms remained open to the public. What they took the money for is an open question. All information is provided in the official language. A strange approach to tourism development. People from all over the world come here, but they do not understand anything, or they have to pay extra for the services of an interpreter. I gave the foreigners a little excursion several times, without which they were in some kind of prostration, not understanding anything. By the way, entry is also more expensive for foreign citizens, but the conditions are worse. In general, the situation is strange, especially if compared to similar places in Uzbekistan, the picture is quite depressing.

An incredible architectural monument. The incredible story of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. A beautiful complex. In my opinion, there is one significant drawback: it was for nothing that the facilities for recreation and shade (benches, gazebos) were built so close to the walls of the mausoleum. For the rest, many thanks to the scientists, restorers, and employees of the complex for the opportunity to touch the history of the Turkic world.
