Visit the magnificient "Mangystau" province

Anyone who has ever had a chance to explore Mangystau Province, unanimously confirms that this peninsula with its breathtaking landscapes is very unique. It has its own special energy, most landscapes seem to be intended for shooting space movies with aliens and other planets. 5 million years ago, this place was hidden in the depths of the ancient ocean of Tethys, the waters of which created such bizarre cliffs and caves of beautiful colors. You must come here at least for a week in order to have time to see all the sights of the province.
