Weather of Arabia - If you are one of those who hope to visit Kazakhstan and you are an Arab citizen, you must obtain a visa, unless you have an Emirati passport, then you can enter without a prior visa. There are plenty of reasons, sights, and activities to offer in Kazakhstan , known as the Land of Borat after the popular comedy film of the same name.

Sharyn Canyon

Drenched in oranges, browns, and reds, Sharyn Canyon is a massive natural landmark that offers stunning, photo-optimistic views. It's simply Kazakhstan's answer to America's Grand Canyon, and you can take a day trip to it from Almaty.

Kennedy Lake

Created by an earthquake in 1911, this gorgeous turquoise lake is a natural destination hidden among the Tian Shan Mountains, about a five-hour drive from Almaty. It is a surreal lake marked by fir trees emerging from the water, creating a unique landscape.

Petroglyphs at Tamgali, Tas

Among the most curious sights of Kazakhstan are the Buddhist rock carvings and Bodhisattva paintings found at Tamgaly Tas on the banks of the Ili River, 160 kilometers north of Almaty.

The art of searching for birds

If you differentiate and are interested in Himalayan birds such as the guqul and the hazar, do a 10-day trek in remote desert camps in search of a Central Asian ornithologist including flights.

The magnificent Nur-Astana Mosque

Astana is the capital and one of the largest and most beautiful cities in Kazakhstan. Here you will find the third largest mosque in Central Asia, the Nur-Astana Mosque covered in gold. A wonderful place that is really worth a visit.

Skiing in the city

Shymbulak Ski Resort is only a 30-minute drive from Almaty city centre, which makes it ideal for a quick skiing adventure during the season from December to April, especially since the ski resort is more advanced in Central Asia.
