As the 9th largest country in the world, Kazakhstan is a curious traveler’s paradise. There is an endless amount of history contained within this vast land of steppes, valleys, plateaus, mountains, ancient settlements, and centers of cultural exchange.

Kazakhstan’s UNESCO sites combine to form a perfectly preserved snapshot of traditions and cultures throughout centuries, from prehistoric petroglyphs providing insight into the first inhabitants, to Islamic architecture defining the success of mighty 13th century empires, to modern day nomadic traditions across the North.
