In general, it is a great attraction for Kazakhstan. Definitely worth a visit if you have time.
But it is worth visiting the mausoleum - after all, a historical monument with a long and unhappy history, which remained unfinished. All the new buildings built abundantly around are entertainment for an amateur...
One thing I really didn't like was that all the inscriptions and signs in and around the mausoleum are in two languages.
In Kazakh, in Latin graphics, which no one has approved. And in English.
But where is the Russian?! After all, it is obvious that there will be potentially more Russian-speaking tourists here than English-speaking ones. Well, Russian-speaking citizens of Kazakhstan, as it were, in this case, past the cash register!
Ugly, however
Everything is as described. Even more.
The ticket is an adult 200 tenge.
The residence of all Kazakh khans. It's super. Darbaza. Strengthening the walls according to the pyrimeter.
Be sure to check out the underground mosque. There's a whole town there, 2 tiers down. I had about 100 tourists with me. How does the ventilation work there, is it not clear? But it's so clean and comfortable.
Be sure to check out the hammam, the sauna. I didn't understand how heating, ventilation, and sewerage work there either. Very amazing engineering structures, architecture.
And everything else in the area. Like in paradise, lawn, roses, fantanes, electric cars.
There are no words, the majesty and quality of the building are amazing! And this is at what time! And modern buildings, a real shame! It would be better to plant a variety of trees, and surround the Shrine with a botanical garden!
Turkestan has become such a beautiful city. I liked it so much, it was so beautifully done, clean and pleasant everywhere. I would like to go and see it again
The area is nearby, just a fire. The ticket office is not for tourists, when a group of tourists comes in, it is not possible to get out... it seems like a cool place, but everything is as usual in the end- through the
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in Turkestan. Gorgeous. You can drive and drive. This is the history of Kazakhstan. The settlement of Otrar is actually something!!! I still want to go
A very beautiful place! Historical and now even more attracts tourists. One thing I don't understand is why there are sticks sticking out at the entrance to the vault. What are they for?
