About Shymkent
Shymkent, one of Kazakhstan’s largest and liveliest cities, is a vibrant gateway to the country’s south, known for its bustling bazaars, leafy avenues, and warm hospitality. From here, travelers can easily explore UNESCO-recognized treasures in the wider region, including the Timurid monuments and pilgrimage sites of Turkistan as well as sections of the Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor. The city’s character also shines through its flavorful southern Kazakh cuisine, where beshbarmak, plov, and shashlik are often enjoyed with fresh tandyr bread and fragrant tea.
About Karaganda
Karaganda, set amid the vast steppes of central Kazakhstan, is a dynamic industrial city shaped by its coal-mining heritage and an increasingly vibrant cultural scene. Its layered past is reflected in landmarks such as the Karlag Museum of Memory of Victims of Political Repression in nearby Dolinka, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Fatima, and the Stanislavsky Theatre. To taste the region, travelers can enjoy beshbarmak, kazy, and warm baursak, classic Kazakh specialties that bring the hospitality of the steppe to the table.
