Keruen Saray
Керуен Сарай
A newly built tourist complex styled after Silk Road caravanserais, where canal boat rides, the Flying Theatre and a nighttime light show make it a new landmark of Turkistan.
Keruen Saray (meaning “caravanserai”) is a large cultural and tourism complex built in the 2020s. Shops, restaurants and hotels are arranged in the style of Central Asian old towns. The grounds include an artificial canal where visitors can take boat rides. At nightfall the buildings are lit up, with water-screen and light shows. The Flying Theatre, with its dome screen and motion seats that “fly” over the landscapes of Kazakhstan, is also in this area. The complex lies on the east side of the Yasawi Mausoleum, about a 15-minute walk away. Show and boat schedules and ticket prices follow the notices posted on site.
