📣 Traveler notes

Kazakhstan is a large, affluent Central Asian nation (due to oil and gas) and the largest state in Central Asia after Russia. Visitors may find the expansive steppe landscape captivating.

  • Respecting local pride is necessary to prevent conflicts.
  • Physical confrontation might be perceived as part of local culture.
  • The national tourism slogan is 'Very nice.'
  • Avoid making comments that disrespect the country or its people. Specifically, refrain from perceived misrepresentations of Kazakhstan (e.g., 'Borat' references).

About this holiday
