Synopsis
A country larger than Western Europe, Kazakhstan's vast expanse encompasses the Great Steppe, across which Genghis Khan's Mongol hordes galloped; the heights of the Tien Shan in the south, through whose foothills Silk Road travelers journeyed; the exquisite lakes and valleys of the Altai mountains in the northeast, and in the far west the archeologically rich desert coast of the Caspian Sea. With independence and the discovery of oil has come huge change, yet Kazakhstan remained one of the least known of Asian countries until the Borat movie took the world by storm in 2006. Now, this land of rich history, welcoming people and whirling bazaars shares its wonders with a curious world.

About the Author
Dagmar Schreiber studied philosophy in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) and Moscow, before joining the World Bank study project on living standards in Kazakhstan in 1994. During this three-year project she fell in love with the country, and decided to dedicate the rest of her professional life to it. During numerous far-reaching trips she became aware of its enormous potential for tourism, and formed a small, Berlin-based tour agency in 2003, specializing in environmentally friendly tours of the real Kazakhstan.
