About KAZAKHSTAN:  Kazakhstan is one of several “-stan” countries located in Central Asia. It is an extremely large country – larger in land mass than all of Western Europe and the largest landlocked country in the world.

Much of its terrain is rugged and often inhospitable which favors a nomadic way of life.

Kazakhstan lies at the center of what once was the Old Silk Road - an active network of trade routes connecting the East with the West.

For centuries, traveling merchants flooded Kazakhstan with new ideas and goods for centuries when passing through. As a result, its towns, villages, and artwork became surprisingly cosmopolitan despite its remote locate.
