In the photographs, you can see the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmad Yasawi, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the mausoleum of Arystan Baba, as well as ancient settlements such as Otrar and Sauran, which are of great interest to history buffs. One of the photographs presented at the exhibition shows the Aktau embankment and the Caspian Sea, which connects the two countries - Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
