1 day / Aktau-Shopan Ata and Beket Ata
We will pick you up at the airport in the morning and head to the city of Aktau to have breakfast ( in case of arrivals before 9am, there are not much open restaurants in the city, so we’ll have breakfast at the airport) and then in the desert towards our first destination, Shopan Ata.

Shopan Ata

The underground mosque of Shopan Ata is associated with the name of the revered sage who once became mentor of Beket Ata (an important religious leader and educator). Today, there is an unspoken rule for pilgrims to stop at Shopan Ata before visiting the underground mosque of Beket Ata. The mosque is carved inside a rock and consists of 12 rooms. There are halls for religious rites and educational activities. In addition, there are a tomb of Shopan Ata and halls for pilgrims.
After the visit to the mosque, we will head to Beket Ata.

The underground mosque of Beket Ata is associated with the name of Beket Mr Rzagululy, a holy figure for Sufi Muslims. Every year, hundreds of pilgrims come there to commemorate him. Everyone notices the miraculous energy that prevails within the walls of the mosque.

The mosque consists of four rooms carved into the rock. Beket Ata is buried in one of them. His sister Akkuash’s grave is in the next room, in which only the women can enter. When you're ready to go, remember not to turn your back on the graves, not to offend the spirits of the people buried here.

Day 2 / Beket Ata – Bozhira Canyon

Leaving Beket Ata, we will head to the Bozhira Canyon, one of the most spectacular white canyons.

Bozhira is a magnificent creation of different atmospheric agents as well as erosion, which is located on the territory of the Ustyurt plateau. Here, you can see vast clay deserts, calcareous mountains, hills whose height is superior to 200 meters (650 foots). In the Mesozoic era, this area was covered by the Thetys Ocean, so now you can find many shells pits and teeth of prehistoric sharks.

Bozhira is an attraction not to be missed in the province of Mangystau and will surely provoke many emotions.

We will set up the tents and have the chance to do hiking in the area with a wonderful excursion to the top of the plateau.
