Kyzylkup Tract
Karagiye Trench
Beket Ata Mosque
Bosjira Tract
Kyzylkup Tract

The Kyzylkup Tract features low hills composed of multicolored rock layers that look like the tiers of a cake. These colors come from mineral impurities: the white layers are chalk, while the red ones contain iron. Locals often nickname it "Tiramisu" due to its unique layered appearance. Its official name originates from a nearby reservoir that once existed in the area.

Karagiye Trench

The Karagiye Trench is a depression in Kazakhstan, situated approximately 50 km (31 mi) from the city of Aktau. With a depth of 132 meters (433 ft) below sea level, it is the deepest depression in our country and ranks fifth globally. Its name derives from the Turkic term «karakia», meaning «black slope» or «black mouth». This destination not only captivates tourists but is also an integral part of the Karagiye-Karakol Nature Reserve. The reserve also encompasses the picturesque Lake Karakol, known for its abundant population of pink flamingos. Today, the depression is not as deserted as it used to be. Unpaved roads traverse its bottom, and you'll find camel farms and oil rigs scattered about. In the semi-desert region, fields have been cultivated, yielding bountiful watermelon and tomato crops.

Beket Ata Mosque

Beket Ata was a Muslim educator, philosopher, healer, and astronomer, revered as a saint by the people. His most remarkable creation is the underground mosque in the Oglandy Tract, which has drawn pilgrims for over two centuries. In Western Kazakhstan, it is believed that invoking Beket Ata's name can ward off misfortune, and prayers offered at the mosque are said to bring miracles.

Carved into a towering cliff, the mosque comprises four chambers. One houses Beket Ata's burial site, another contains the ashes of his sister, Akkuash, a third preserves his staff, and the fourth serves as the mosque's entrance.

Bosjira Tract

Bosjira Tract is a vast canyon on the Ustyurt Plateau that showcases nature's boundless imagination. There, you can marvel at the otherworldly landscapes adorned with striking white fang-like buttes. This captivating location, once the ocean floor, is composed of sandstone and chalk. As you admire the surreal scenery, don't forget to glance downward and discover fossilized algae, shells, and remnants of ancient shark teeth beneath your feet.
