KazakhstanThings to Know

Uncover essential customs for a seamless Kazakhstan vacation experience.

When visiting any country, it's helpful to know certain aspects of that country's customs and practices. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when taking a Kazakhstan vacation:

Know the local language. It is important to learn a few basic words and phrases of the Khazak language. Knowing a bit of the language will help you get assistance from the locals. Other than the Khazak language, locals also speak Arabic, English, and Uzbek.

Check your visa requirements. Some nationalities may be required to obtain a visa in advance, while others are eligible for free visa entry.

Respect local customs. Khazaks expect travellers to respect their traditions and customs. When you visit a local home, make sure to carry a gift with you, which is a local tradition.

Be prepared to experience Nomadic hospitality. Nomadic people treat guests as gods. When you visit a local home, they will treat you to delicious local food. One thing you must remember is to remove your shoes when you enter a local's house.

Carry cash. Though credit cards are widely used in urban areas, it is advised to carry cash in rural areas.
