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?
One of the places of power of Turks and Muslims. It is simply necessary for every citizen of Kazakhstan to visit if possible in order to understand our history and culture. I was pleasantly surprised by the scale and level in comparison of visits in 2024 and 2012
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
