FlyArystan connects the southern capital of Kazakhstan with Turkistan. By booking flight tickets from Almaty to Turkistan, you can cross over 700 kilometers in just 1.5 hours and visit one of Kazakhstan’s main historical and tourist cities.
Turkistan is a spiritual and cultural center of the Turkic world, founded nearly two millennia ago. It was the former capital of the Kazakh Khanate. The great thinker Khoja Ahmed Yasawi was born and lived here, and his legacy still reminds us that the city was once a center of Islamization in Central Asia.
Today, Turkistan is the administrative center of the Turkistan Region. The city's tourist appeal is evident in its musical fountains playing from early morning, restored ancient architecture, and immersive flying theaters. Reborn after centuries, Turkistan is rapidly developing to welcome visitors with modern infrastructure, delicious cuisine, and, of course, a rich cultural heritage.
We offer an extensive route network, allowing you to easily find a convenient connecting flight from your city to Turkistan.
