Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan tourist train to be launched by Nauryz holiday

Passengers of the new Jibek Joly tourist train will have the opportunity to visit two countries at once. The five-day cross-border route from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan will be launched on the eve of the Nauryz holiday and will last from March 20 to 25. Travelers will visit Almaty, Turkistan, Tashkent, Samarkand, and Taraz. During this time, they will immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient cities, touch the spiritual heritage of the Silk Road, and also discover the bright sights of two Central Asian countries. The unique tour will include various festive events in the ethno-village and a concert program. For a comfortable experience, tourists will have access to professional guides, meals, and excursions.

«Firstly, the trailer cars will depart from Astana. The regular tourist route will also begin in Almaty on March 20, passing through Turkistan, Tashkent, and Samarkand before returning. And here is the second difference – there will be a stop in the city of Taraz. The third difference is the growing demand for Astana among foreign tourists. We expect this tour to become a brand for all of Central Asia and hope that the third train will attract visitors from China and European countries,» noted Daniyel Serzhanuly, Deputy Chairman of the Kazakh Tourism National Company.
