Mazar of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi has put Kazakhstan firmly on the UNESCO World Heritage List, when it was formally inscribed as a Cultural Heritage Site in 2002. The mausoleum was commissioned by Timur in 1389, a Turco-Mongol, who conquered much of the Central Asia with its Empire surviving several centuries until 1857 with the Mughal Dynasty in India. Khoja Ahmed Yasawi was a Turkic poet and Sufi, who lived 60 years and is known as the first to write poetry in the Turkic dialect. I spent just a few hours around the complex. It was very lovely and the front facade was so huge that it genuinely impressed me. The entry into the main mausoleum was free but no photography was allowed. I broke this rule with my iPhone.
