My nephews spent time in Karakhan in memory of their parents. They appointed h 14-00.
There are many halls .
We all came from different cities, we were in a hurry that they still had an event at 16:00.
We started earlier.
For the sake of profit, the owner has not given us such an unpleasant moment for the first time. About 10 years ago, 2 events were held in the same hall. They said there, they said here...
Kudai wasps zherden saktasyn. The nephews are also from Almaty.
There is nothing to praise. We all left in a trance. Kazaksha aitkanda, akshadan olgen eken.

Guys, we were here in the middle of July 2024. A beautiful building in the city center attracts attention. The surrounding area is also well landscaped.
We recommend it!
Although, of course, it's up to you to decide...
