Singing Dune and Tamgaly-Tas: Jeep Tour from Almaty

I had been eyeing trips to Altyn-Emel for a long time, but kept putting it off. In April I finally made up my mind and took a weekend tour. We went with a colleague, also a history enthusiast. Tamgaly-Tas is a unique place, the petroglyphs are well preserved despite their age. The guide organized the trip excellently: told about the history and made stops for photos along the way. Most memorable were the rock drawings — you can look at them for a long time. The weather was warm, not hot. The way back passed unnoticed. I didn't regret choosing this particular route.

We took a weekend tour. The road was long but interesting. The dune impressed, sounds like a plane. Minus: queue at the entrance.

I searched for this tour for a long time because I love historical places. We went with my family, the kids were interested too. There are many petroglyphs, each with its own history. The guide told interesting stories about them. The dune is also amazing, especially at sunset. But it was very hot, you need to take a lot of water. The guide helped us have a good time, but we were active ourselves too. Overall, we liked the tour, I recommend it to friends.

I went alone, the tour was relaxing. The dune really does sing, I heard a hum. The organization was top-notch.

We went to the Singing Dune with our family. The kids are thrilled by the sand and the sound. The downside — departure was a bit delayed, but overall excellent

The tour was packed. We left at 5 am and caught the sunrise. The dune is beautiful, orange sand. The petroglyphs were also impressive, ancient Buddhist symbols. The guide gave an excellent tour, telling us about the history. Minus: it was very hot at noon.

Very beautiful on the dune. The sand is fine, we climbed to the top. Oleg warned about water, thanks

In July we went with a friend. We had long wanted to see the petroglyphs, but it never worked out. The off-road ride is a bit bumpy, but it was worth it. Tamgaly-Tas is more interesting than I expected: the drawings are ancient, the guide told about Buddhist symbols. The dune also impressed, especially its hum. The weather was hot, but we took water. The guide organized everything well, thanks to him. Overall we liked the tour, but would have liked more time for the petroglyphs.

I really liked Tamgaly-Tas. The petroglyphs are impressive, the guide told a lot of interesting things.

The Singing Dune is a wonder of nature. I heard a hum like from a helicopter. We didn't make it to Tamgaly-Tas this time, next time

Booked a tour for my parents. They enjoyed it. The Singing Dune impressed them. Organization was top-notch.

The tour is excellent! We went in May, the weather was super. The dune is high, we climbed it, the sand sings. The petroglyphs on the Ili are beautiful, Buddhist. The guide told many legends. The downside — we were delayed with lunch, but overall everything was cool. I recommend it to everyone.

We went with my wife in April, wanted to unwind after winter. We chose this tour because of the reviews. The singing dune about 100 meters high is cool! The climb is hard, but the views are super. The sand really sings if you move it with your feet. The petroglyphs are also interesting, but we didn't manage to see everything. The downside is lunch was a bit cold, but that's minor. The guide is good, told everything. Overall we liked the trip, but got very tired.
