Almaty

Almaty

Understand

Almaty is the former capital of Kazakhstan, and is still its largestcity. Being a financial and cultural center of Central Asia, Almatyboasts moderately-sized tourist and expatriate communities.

On a clear day you can see the beautifully rugged, snow cappedmountains, right at the city's doorstep to the south. The city,in general, slopes from south to north which makes navigatingthe streets easy. If you are traveling uphill, you're going south.There is also a small mountain range bordering the city to theeast.

Almaty is in the top 50 most expensive cities worldwide.Although Almaty dropped from 30th place in 2007 to 44thin 2008, it's still more expensive than Toronto, Los Angelesor Hamburg. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful gateway to thisundiscovered and distinctive country. Kazakh people are verykind and welcoming, and you will be pleasantly surprised bythe hospitality. Almaty hosted the Asian Winter Games 2011and England vs. Kazakhstan WC2010 football game on 6 June2009.

Get in

By air

For people from most countries, the easiest way to get toKazakhstan is by air. Several airlines have regular flights intoAlmaty, including the low-cost carrier airBaltic from Riga,Lufthansa, CSA, Etihad Airways, KLM, bmi and Turkish Airlines,(Turkish twice daily, www.turkishairlines.com) to name a few.It's roughly a 7-8 hour flight from Europe. Kazakhstan Airlines isno longer operational, leaving Air Astana the national carrier ofthe country and operator of most domestic routes. Air Astana,with a fairly modern fleet of Airbuses and Boeings, has directflights from major European cities such as London, Frankfurtand Amsterdam, and is a comfortable and reasonably pricedalternative to the European airlines. Visas must be obtained inadvance of arrival, as they are no longer available on arrival atthe airport, (unless you are arriving from a country that has noconsulate, and that type of plane-side visa usually needs to becoordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at least oneweek in advance).

Easy connections from Almaty include Moscow, LondonHeathrow, Amsterdam, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Istanbul, Seoul,Beijing, Delhi,Tehran IKA and Dubai with direct flights. EtihadAirways, [www.etihadairways.com], flies 4 times a week to AbuDhabi, Air Arabia flies to Sharjah twice a week and Air Astanaflies to Dubai daily.

The airport is small, but getting busier by the day. Sometimes,several flights depart around the same time, meaning shocking

queues and waits for no apparent reason. Be early, and expectdelays to your flight. Lots of departures from Almaty end upleaving a bit late, but most arrivals are pretty timely. A taxi fromthe airport to the city costs about $20-25.

When leaving by air, you need to fill out a customs declarationform. There is a multilingual computerised kiosk available butdon't bother with this - it's quicker and easier to fill one outby hand at the stand immediately opposite the entrance tothe check-in area. The forms are available in several languagesincluding English and German. Check-in desks open around 3hours before flight departure and you are not permitted intothe check-in area until the desks for your flight have opened.Your customs form will be examined when entering the check-in area; there may be substantial queues.

There are usually several queues for passport control;experience says that it is best to avoid the right-most queue asair-crew commonly queue-jump this one, leading to delays atthe passport kiosk.

By train

There are two railway stations, Almaty-1 and Almaty-2.Almaty-2 is located in the city centre, Almaty-1 is cca 4 km fromthe centre. Most trains end at Almaty-2, but some lower-classtrains end at Almaty-1.

There are many direct trains between Russia and Kazakhstan.Train 8 goes from Moscow to Almaty, and departs fromKazanski Station. The trip takes about 82 hours, with stops inSaratov, Uralsk, Aktobe, Turkestan, and Shymkent on the way.

From Urumqi, China

The N895 train leaves every Saturday and Monday night (23:58Beijing time) direct to Almaty. To buy the ticket in Urumqi theoffice is in the Yaou Hotel to the right of the main station.Tickets need to purchased a few days in advance and costaround ¥870 (about US$110).

Ticket sale for the Saturday train starts on Monday 10am, forthe Monday train it starts Friday 10am. The train on Saturdayis very busy, while for the train on Monday it is possible topurchase the ticket on the same day. There will always beefree seats in the train so you may enter the train directly at theChinese side of the border after buying the ticket there thesame day (July 2010).

Organizing the Kazakh visum in Urumqi takes at least 5 (July2010) working days.

The trip takes 34 hours, eight of which are spent clearingChinese and Kazakh immigration. Taking the bus or flying arebetter options if you are in a hurry.

Get around

Remember that the mountains outside of town are criticalto direction. When someone tells you to head "up," they aretelling you to head towards the mountains. When someonetells you to head "down," they are telling you to head awayfrom the mountains. It is very easy to get around Almaty, since

most of the roads are either parallel or ortogonal to each other.The destinations are usually determined by intersections like inNew York. Therefore, for instance, if you know that KazakhstanHotel is located in intersection of Abaya street and Dostykstreet, local people will be able to help you out with ease.

Trams, buses and trolleys can take you around much of thecity for 50 tenge (currency code – KZT). In case of trams andtrolleys, there is a dedicated machine inside every vehicle.Put 50 tenge (not less, not more) inside these machines toget a ticket. In case of buses, you pay to conductor duringexiting off a vehicle. Recommend you to use buses only inthe center.

Taxis come in two types, those with "Taxi" painted on theside, and every other privately owned vehicle. If you wantto go somewhere, stand on the curb and stick your arm out.Pretty soon someone will stop. Tell him where you want togo and negotiate a price before entering the vehicle (don'tlet them overcharge and be firm, 200 tenge (USD2) is anormal price for a foreigner taking a short trip, 500 shouldget you across town). These are really efficient, and althoughit takes a bit of getting used to, it is the perfect solutionto getting around. nevertheless, single travelers should beaware of mugging late at night. Avoid cars with more thanone male occupant at night. Usually a car will stop within 30seconds to 3 minutes of having your hand out. If the driverdoes not wish to drive to your destination, no problem. Thenext one will stop a minute or two after. You'll need thename of your destination street and the nearest cross street,in Russian, in order to get to where you want to go. Veryfew people speak or understand even basic English. It isnecessary to have small money. Usually drivers avoid to givechange, so it is better to have the exact amount in hands.

Emporio Armani Bar (Al-Farabi and Shashkina). Recentlyopened bar with moderate prices and excellent service. LifeDJ and cosy atmposhere.

Gakku (7 Nikitina Street, between Nauryzbay Batyr streetand Seyfullin avenue). On of the best restaurant servingKazakh national food for reasonable prices. One shouldtry "Beshparmak", "Kuyrdak" and other traditional Kazakhdishes. Foreigners are increasingly frequenting this newrestaurant.

The Grill (on top of the hill at Kok Tobe). Take the cable car up,near Hotel kazakhstan on Dostyk. Located in a picturesquesetting overlooking Almaty. You are perched over the city ona wooden verandah (some parts nice & shady) and it is anawesome setting. The beers are a bit pricey, but the shashliksare awesome and a few drinks here is a 'must do' experience.

Jantik Club (138 Bogenbay Batyr Street, Shagabutdinovstreet corner). Western-style bar. Life music and XX centurysuper hits. Beatles fans will be very placed to visit this bar.Residents include Jeraldine Hunt, Oleg Magomayev andJantemir. Moderate prices.

Mad Murphy's (somewhere on Tole Bi Street). Unless you'redesperate for an Irish pub. The food is predictably mediocreand the bar is thick with smoke and English-speaking expats.Prices are a little steep but you are getting what yourmoney's worth. Some of the best americanized food inAlmaty. Although it is filled with middle/elderly businessmen mostly from America and The U.K it has recentlyattracted a younger crowd becuase of its fabulous live band.On fridays and saturdays the crowd at Murphy's is treated togreat live english music, by the end of the night the wholebar is rocking to the band.

Queens Pub (Shevchenko and Seifullina). Modern Englishpub with live bands and evening shows (www.queens.kz).

Sapphire. Late night club and restaurant for the youngpeople. Basic Chinese menu and live DJ with a dance floor.The main drawcard here is the shisha, or 'hubbly bubbly''nargile' or 'water pipe'. Other places in Almaty also haveshisha (fruit flavoured tobacco, smoked for an hour or twofrom a hookah), but this is one of the few to use real charcoaland authentic Al Fakher shisha tobacco from UAE. The bardelivers the vodkas pretty promptly too.

Soho. Lunch isn't bad - a buffet with a nice assortment ofbreads, soups, salads, and main dishes called a "businesslunch" at a reasonable fixed price. However the evenings arequite pleasant with live music and reasonable drink prices -no entrance fee during the week. Soho is a great place fora single business man to attend during the night. It is not avery classy joint and is usually packed with Almaty's workingwoman. Never the less they have one of the best bands inAlmaty and they sing in English! Some of their covers are

better than the originals, it's a must see event. Try making abooking for a table, to avoid having to stand at the bar.

Taj Mahal (across the street from the Ghorky Parkentrance on Gogol). This Pakistani restaurant under newmanagement has started to attract an expat crowd,probably because of their all-the-time 2-for-1 specials ondraft Efes beer.

Tau Dastarkhan (halfway up to the mountains). Located ina large area made up of "islands" with Kazakh, Russian,Georgian, and Uzbek kitchens. Not to be missed in thesummertime. It's as fun to walk around and see the varioussettings as it is to eat.

Turandot (two locations: one on Abai between Kosmonaftand Zhandosova attached to the theater building, other onAblai Khan just below Makataeva). It is a very cheap andvery tasty Chinese eatery. Servings are huge, so don't gooverboard! There are plenty of vegetarian dishes to choosefrom, including tofu dishes.

Ultra's (Satpaeva between Kosmonaft and Seifulin). Funrestaurant with its own microbrewery on site. It is one ofthe Staut bars chain. The restaurant has an excellent array ofbeer, even if it's a little costly.

Kazakh driving is pretty wild. Drivers attack their art withan equal mix of aggressiveness and incompetence. As apedestrian, take great care when crossing the roads.

Kazakh people are extremely friendly and welcoming towardsforeigners and nothing should happen to you unless you reallywant it yourself. If you don't care about them, they don't careabout you and nothing should be in your way of having a greatholiday!

Always carry a national passport with a valid entry clearancewith you. Police officers may request to show an identitydocument. The underlying intention many times is to extractsome money in case you don't have valid documents. If youdon't know Russian, confusion is guaranteed.

History

Prehistoric Almaty

During 1000–900 BC in the Bronze Age the first farmers andcattle-breeders established settlements on the territory ofAlmaty.

During the Saka’s period (from 700 BC to the beginning ofthe Common Era), these lands were chosen for residence bySaka tribes and later Uisun tribes inhabiting the territory northof the Tian Shan mountain range. The evidences of thesetimes are numerous burial tumuli and ancient settlements,especially giant burial mounds of Saka tsars. The mostfamous archaeological finds are the Golden man from theIssyk Kurgan, Zhalauly treasure, Kargaly diadem, Zhetysu artsbronze (boilers, lamps and altars). During the period of Sakaand uisun governance, Almaty became the early educationcenter.

The next stage of Almaty evolution is attributed to the MiddleAges (8–10th centuries) and is characterized by city culturedevelopment, transfer to a settled way of living, farming andhandicraft development, and the emergence of a number oftowns and cities in the territory of Zhetysu.

In the 10–14th centuries, settlements in the territory of the socalled "Big Almaty" became part of the trade routes of the SilkRoad. At that time, Almaty became one of the trade, craft andagricultural centers on the Silk Road and possessed an officialmint. The city was first mentioned as Almatu in books from the13th century.

15th–18th centuries

In the 15th–18th centuries, the city was on the way todegradation as trade activities were decreasing on this part ofthe Silk Road. Notwithstanding, this period was saturated withvery important political events that had significant impact onthe history of Almaty and Kazakhstan as a whole. It was a periodof crucial ethnic and political transformations. The Kazakh stateand nation were founded here, close to Almaty.

These lands also witnessed the tragic developments related tothe Dzungar intervention and rigorous efforts of the Kazakhto protect their land and preserve independence. In 1730the Kazakh defeated the Dzungar in the Anyrakay mountains,70 km to north-west from Almaty. It was a critical moment ofthe Patriotic War between Kazakhs and Dzungars.

Foundation of Verniy

Zenkov Cathedral, a 19th-century Russian Orthodox cathedral located inPanfilov Park, is the second tallest wooden building in the world.

On 4 February 1854 the modern history of the city began withthe strengthening of the Russian piedmont Fort Verniy nearbythe Zailiysky Alatau mountain range between Bolshaya andMalaya Almatinka rivers. The construction of the Verniy Fortwas almost finished by autumn 1854. It was a fenced pentagonand one of its sides was built along the Malaya Almatinka.Later, wood fence was replaced with the wall of brick withembrasures. Main facilities were erected around the big squarefor training and parading.

In 1855 the first displaced Kazakh appeared in Verniy. Since1856, Verniy started accepting Russian peasants. They foundedthe Bolshaya Almatinskaya Stanitsa (Cossack village) nearbythe fortification. The inflow of migrants was increasing andled to construction of the Malaya Almatinskaya Stanitsaand Tatarskaya (Tashkentskaya) sloboda. It was the place ofsettlement for Tatar mechants and craftsmen.

In 1867 the Verniy Fort was transformed into the town andcalled Almatinsk. However, the population did not like the newname of the town and soon the town was re-named as Verniy.

According to the First City Plan, the city perimeters were 2 kmon the south along Almatinka river, and 3 km on the west. Thenew city area was divided into residential parts, and the latter— into districts. Three categories of the city buildings weredistinguished. Buildings of the first and second categories weretwo-storied or, at least, one-storied constructions with the highsemi-basement. Buildings of categories I and II were erectedaround and in the center of the city, others — on the outskirts.

On 28 May 1887, at 4 a.m., an earthquake almost totallydestroyed Verniy in 11–12 minutes. Brick buildings were mostlydamaged. As a result, people were inclined to build up one-storied construction made of wood or adobe.

Toponymy

The name "Almaty" derives from the Kazakh word for'apple' (碾碾碾碾), and thus is often translated as "full of apples;"alma is also 'apple' in other Turkic languages, as well as inHungarian. The older Soviet-era Russian version of its name,Alma-Ata, is an arbitrary composition of two Kazakh words,literally Apple-Father, which has no sense. In fact, there isgreat genetic diversity among the wild apples in the regionsurrounding Almaty; the region is thought to be the ancestralhome of the apple, and the wild Malus sieversii is considered alikely candidate for the ancestor of the modern domestic apple.The area is often visited by researchers and scientists fromaround the world in order to learn more about the complexsystems of genetics, and also to discover the true beginningsof the domestic apple.
