Workation in Shymkent: the essentials
Close to the Uzbek border and about 120 km north of Tashkent, Shymkent is Kazakhstan's third-largest city and a warmer, more Central Asian place than the capital. It stood on a Silk Road caravan route, has been settled since at least the 12th century, and today serves as a railway junction and regional trade centre with several universities. The citadel area is in the city itself, while the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkistan and the Aksu-Zhabagly nature reserve make good longer trips. Shymkent International Airport is about 13 km away.
