Mangystau Named Among World’s Must-Visit Deserts by The Telegraph

The respected British publication The Telegraph has featured Kazakhstan’s Mangystau region in its list of “10 deserts to visit in your lifetime.”

The article highlights Mangystau’s extraordinary landscapes, the profound sense of silence and vast open horizons, and the region’s striking minimalist natural beauty. Being ranked alongside some of the world’s most iconic deserts reflects the growing international recognition of Kazakhstan’s unique natural heritage.

Mangystau is far more than a desert landscape. It is a land shaped by ancient civilizations, dramatic canyons, towering chalk formations, and sacred sites. The region holds strong potential for expedition-style, adventure, and spiritual tourism.
