Your Gateway to Vibrant Culture and Luxury

Majestic Kazakhstan: Land of Endless Horizons

It is the largest landlocked country in the world, featuring diverse landscapes of steppes, deserts, and mountains. The former capital, Almaty, offers a blend of modern architecture and nature with some great views of the Zailiyskiy Alatau mountains. Deep in the nomadic traditions, the country boasts impressive cultural sites such as the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi and the historic city of Turkestan. Another uniqueness is the cuisine, such as beshbarmak (boiled meat with noodles) and kazy, which is a horsemeat sausage. And, of course, both adventure and history reach out from the sweeping steppes to the sophisticated city life of this geographical destination.
