Located 265 km from Almaty, the city of Zharkent boasts two remarkable 19th-century architectural landmarks: the Zharkent Mosque, designed in the style of a Buddhist temple and now functioning as a museum, and the Church of Saint Elijah—one of the oldest churches in the Semirechye region. The tour includes visits to the museum and church, lunch at a Uyghur café (optional), and the sacred Auliye-Agash tree, surrounded by seven intertwined elms.
