The new route reaffirms the airline’s commitment to unlocking an eclectic mix of travel opportunities for both residents and visitors of the UAE and Kazakhstan, a statement said.

Flights to Turkistan will operate three times a week – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with tickets already on sale.

The national airline is currently flying to more than 40 destinations from Abu Dhabi, including three in Kazakhstan, and providing point-to-point travel for adventurous travellers across the Middle East, Central Asia and beyond.

A gem in the heart of Kazakhstan, Turkistan is a captivating mix of history, culture, and natural beauty and testament to the country's diverse heritage.

Boasting architectural marvels, such as the revered Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a UNESCO World Heritage site that echoes the grandeur of Islamic art and architecture, Turkistan offers an immersive cultural experience.

Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the surrounding landscapes, from the scenic beauty of the Sayram-Ugam National Park to the tranquil waters of the Sasykkol Lake with warm Kazakh local delicacies and age-old traditions awaiting.

On the other hand, with year-round sunshine, Abu Dhabi is a world-renowned family-friendly destination with incredible art, culture, tradition and hospitality offerings.

The UAE capital is known for its stunning beach resorts, excellent cultural offerings, and exciting attractions, offers visitors a warm welcome and breathtaking natural and built beauty.
