Bukhara is now my fave city ever, felt like I travelled back in time 🇺🇿

Outside of Shymkent: Picturesque road along the Bukhtarma Reservoir. The Bukhtarma Reservoir is 425 km long, covers an area of around 5,490 km² and it is #Kazakhstan's largest reservoir. It is located in East Kazakhstan region and is part of the Irtysh river. #VisitKazakhstan

A2. The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation is unmistakable on the Nur Sultan skyline. While the pyramid was only completed in 2006, it boasts a rich history in its role as a spiritual centre for many of Kazakhstan’s denominations. #TRLT bit.ly/3bQlFtb

A1. Our Laura went to Uzbekistan specifically to see the madrasas of the Registan – and she was not disappointed! #TRLT bit.ly/3Aq6AZo

A1 Nearly everyone who visits Samarkand comes here for the historic monuments. There are dozens of them within the @UNESCO World Heritage Site. #TRLT

Q2: The new rebuild citadel in #Shymkent looks and feels a lot older. The city has a 2200 years old history. The reconstruction of the fortress in the heart of the city was well made. #TRLT
