Salem, Аlmaty

Сима Омарқұлова, Гульнар Наурызбай

Salem! We are in Almaty, the southern capital of Kazakhstan. This is a place with a rich culture and unique architecture — it is here that Kazakh ornaments first became part of the city’s landscape. For many years, Almaty has attracted the country’s most talented citizens: their names are remembered fondly to this day. And that’s not to mention the countless poems, songs, movies, and paintings dedicated to Almaty! Let’s take a walk down the green streets lined with babbling aryks, while the mountain peaks watch over us!
