Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi

At the heart of Turkestan lies the magnificent Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This 12th-century architectural masterpiece is a testament to the Timurid dynasty's prowess. Wander its chambers, marvel at the azure tiles, and immerse in the spiritual ambiance that resonates within its walls. The mausoleum stands not just as a burial site, but as a beacon of Islamic renaissance in Central Asia.

Delve into the subterranean wonders of the underground mosque of Hilovata. Descend its stairways to discover chambers dedicated to ancient holy men, each with its own tale. The cool underground corridors, illuminated by occasional shafts of light, evoke a sense of mystery and reverence, offering a unique spiritual experience.

Azret-Sultan Historical and Cultural Reserve

Spanning the heart of Turkestan, this reserve is a trove of historical sites, from ancient bathhouses to medieval mausoleums. Wander through this open-air museum, touching the stones that have witnessed centuries of pilgrims, traders, and scholars. Each monument, artifact, and ruin narrates tales of Turkestan's illustrious past.

Appak Kuar Festival

Time your visit to coincide with the Appak Kuar festival, a vibrant celebration of winter's end and the onset of spring. Revel in traditional music, dance, and games. Witness the age-old tradition of horse-riding competitions, showcasing the unparalleled equestrian skills of local riders. It's a cultural extravaganza that reflects the region's deep-rooted traditions.

Arystan Bab Mausoleum

Just outside Turkestan lies the serene mausoleum of Arystan Bab, a spiritual mentor to Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. This sacred site is believed to possess healing powers, drawing pilgrims and seekers from afar. Engage in quiet reflection, light candles, and partake in the rituals that have been practiced for generations.

Local Eateries

Embark on a culinary journey in Turkestan's bustling bazaars and local eateries.
