Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi

Great place to learn about the past of Sufi. Early in the morning and in the evening visit recommended. Start your walk from the eastern entrance with the gates mimicking old gates take a walk in and around the mausoleum, visit the underground mosque, learn about Sufi practices and finish in the southern gates.

Turkistan's water show is well worth seeing. Lots of beautiful Kazakh 'Ханшайым's and handsome 'батыр's in traditional clothing in
little boats with suitable music. No ticket needed but get there fairly early 7.00 till 7.40 ish.

Beautiful mausoleum that was left unfinished after his death. We had a wonderful tour guide who gave the history and was very knowledgeable.

The mausoleum of the Sufi poet and philosopher, Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, is the most impressive building in Turkistan. Its interior dome measures 18 meters in diameter and us the biggest in central Asia. The premises are free to enter, but to visit the interior chambers, there is a ticket booth before entering. It's highly recommended that the place should be on top of the list of all visitors to Turkistan.

One of the best historical places in Kazakhstan. I advise everyone to visit this amazing place.

The Khoja Akhmet Yasawi Mausoleum, located in Turkistan, Kazakhstan, is a magnificent testament to the legacy of Sufi mystic Khoja Akhmet Yasawi. This architectural marvel is a must-visit for history and culture enthusiasts.

The mausoleum's stunning turquoise dome and intricate tilework showcase the rich artistic traditions of the region. Its historical significance as a pilgrimage site for Sufi Muslims adds to its allure. The peaceful atmosphere and the spiritual ambiance within the complex make it a serene place for reflection.

The Mausoleum offers a glimpse into the history and spirituality of the region, making it a remarkable destination for travelers seeking cultural experiences. Whether you're interested in architecture, religion, or history, the Khoja Akhmet Yasawi Mausoleum is a captivating destination that leaves a lasting impression.

Getting off a bus stop, we entered by the side of the mausoleum. Walking toward the complex is not too hot because it's prawling with green grass.

Once inside the walled complex, you can take pictures outside the structure. Even if it was summer, the wind was blowing and it felt refreshing.

To enter, we paid 500 tenge. When we got in, the dome was painted a simple white. There are several halls that you can visit from there.

Such an amazing place with history. Whole Turkestan is transformed into a city where you can spend days eating, shopping and just strolling...

Great place. Construction around it is ongoing full speed (Sept 2020). Once completed it is promising to be a major attraction in the region. With nice boulevards, fountains, amphitheater.

UNESCO world Heritage site from Teimury period. It was build by the order of Amir Timur out of his respect to Khoja Ahmed although this was not on Timur’s territory. This stunning Architecture was build by Persian architect from Shiraz, Tabriz and Hamedan.

The person who lived his life inside the ground in a small cabin room & wrote poems & other things.

It is reconstructing, following years there will be a park, a hall, a visit center, a university and much more historic district.

When I was a child I had a dream to visit a sacred place of Khoja Ahmet Yassui where he had been spent years and years in spiritual development of his thaught and believes of eternity and peaceful natura of human being. This place is the place where you can feel the prayers whisper through the centuries, here you can find peace and love in yourself.

Beautiful 14th-century mausoleum. 200 tenge entrance fee. Spend about 30 minutes here.

Amazing 14th century mausoleum, left unfinished with the death of Timur. Construction methods still visible and one can look back in time.

Majestic, spiritual place with immense Islamic history. Will highly recommend a visit. The new development of the city is beyond scope - well done to the team

Historical place... Nice

Imposing and interesting historical building. At the moment a lot of building and restoring is being done to the area surrounding the mausoleum.
