📣 Traveler notes

Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia and the former Soviet Union (excluding Russia). Visitors should note its vast size, rich oil and natural gas reserves, and distinctive steppes landscape.

Respect local customs and avoid insulting remarks.
Be prepared for a culture that may sometimes incorporate physical assertiveness.
Understand that the capital relocation was a significant national development project.
Refrain from making negative comments or insulting remarks about Kazakhstan or its people to avoid confrontation. Be mindful that the local culture sometimes includes physical assertiveness. Also, avoid referencing the film 'Borat,' as the Kazakh people feel it misrepresents the nation.

About this holiday

The relocation of Kazakhstan's capital was initiated by President Nursultan Nazarbayev. This move, the third such relocation, was significant for the country’s economy and demographics.
