The Atyrau region of Kazakhstan has recently announced the inauguration of a brand new visitor center dedicated to the ancient settlement of Saraishyk, located along the historic Great Silk Road. The complex, built for KZT 780mn, offers visitors an immersive experience through six themed expositions, an exhibition hall, a dining room, a hotel, a laboratory, and workrooms.
The museum houses a collection of ancient documents discovered during excavations, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Kazakhstan. Of particular interest is the exhibition highlighting the spread of Islam from the city, providing a fascinating insight into the region's religious history. Ultimately, the visit center aims to promote Saraishyk as a sought-after tourist destination while also preserving the nation's invaluable cultural legacy.
Saraishyk, also called Saraichik or Saray-Juk, was founded in the 10th century and was an important commercial center during the Golden Horde and the Kazakh Khanate.
