Turkestan, an ancient city in southern Kazakhstan near the Syr Darya River, boasts more than 1,500 years of rich history and numerous cultural and sacred sites preserved to this day.Located approximately 862 kilometres from Almaty and 168 kilometres from Shymkent, Turkestan is a great destination to immerse in the authentic and vibrant culture of medieval Central Asia with beautiful architectural complexes, noisy bazaars and vast steppes.

The northern part of the Silk Road once passed through Turkestan and the other ancient cities of the area such as Otyrar, Sairam, Sauran and Syganak. Linking east and west, they were major centres of trade, culture and knowledge.

In the 16th century, Kazakh khans (rulers) chose Turkestan as the capital of the Kazakh Khanate, leveraging on the city’s significant symbolic meaning in the region.For many tourists, their trip to Turkestan starts at the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yassawi dating to the 15th and 16th centuries. Built in the late 14th century by a decree of Timur (Tamerlane), once a powerful ruler of Central Asia, the mausoleum is considered a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Prominent Kazakh leaders such as Abulkhair Khan, Abylai Khan and Yessim Khan, as well as Kazakh judge Kazbek-bi, one the three key judges of the Kazakh Khanate, are buried inside the mausoleum.
