Altyn-Emel National Park Essentials

Kazakhstan’s Altyn-Emel National Park preserves 4,600 square kilometers of unique geological and historical sites. The park features the 150-meter Singing Barkhan, a sand dune that emits low-frequency sounds, and the multicolored Cenozoic sedimentary layers of the Aktau Mountains. Significant archaeological sites include the Besshatyr complex, containing 31 Scythian burial mounds from the Iron Age, and the Taigak gorge petroglyphs. The landscape is further defined by the volcanic Katutau formations and the Oshaktas stone pillars, which historically served as signaling beacons.
