Kazakhstan is the most popular
tourist destination for UAE residents during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan
and Eid al-Fitr (Oraza Ait). It is well ahead of other top tourist
destinations. Such data was provided by the world’s travel search engine
Skyscanner, as reported by the Kazakh Tourism national company.
“Kazakhstan’s tourism sector is experiencing
a positive trend, with travels being arranged in advance. Thus, tourists from
the United Arab Emirates are planning to visit Kazakhstan for Eid al-Fitr, also
known as Uraza Bayram. The annual increase in searches for April flights to the
country has reached 195 percent, making it a leader among states such as
Switzerland, Greece and Cyprus, as well as the Seychelles,” said Alisher
Tursyn, spokesperson for the Kazakh Tourism national company.
The interest of tourists from the
UAE in Kazakhstan is confirmed by the figures. In 2022 nearly 3,000 tourists
visited the country, last year the number exceeded 6,000 people. The growing
popularity of Kazakhstan as a tourist destination indicates the significant
potential of the country in the field of international tourism, experts note.
“According to the travel search
engine Skyscanner, the cities of Astana and Almaty, along with the Almaty
region arouse great interest among tourists from the United Arab Emirates. It
is noteworthy that they opt for a relaxing and cultural vacation. The Almaty
mountains, forested areas and captivating landscapes, and Astana as the
capital, generate a positive interest among visitors,” added Tursyn.
