Let the details lead

Shebeke windows combine small wooden pieces with coloured glass. A guided palace visit helps bring the decorative work and khanate history together.

Stay for the wider setting

Pair the palace with the historic centre and a craft workshop. Follow staff instructions on photography, interiors and group movement.

Give the day room to unfold

Confirm current opening and tour arrangements. Allow time for admission and a guided interior visit rather than just a photograph outside.
