Mausoleum of Eset-Daribay.

Tours to sacred monuments in Kazakhstan.

"Where the fish played in the lakes,
Where the saiga frolicked in the open spaces,
Where the trees were strewn with fruits, 
There were a lot of birds and animals! – 
There, on Zhema, not heeding the pleas, 
You took us away from a generous land!
