Natural Attraction
Tuzbair
The main attraction of Tuzbair is the salt marsh of the same name. In Kazakh, it is called "sor", which means a kind of salt marsh that has no runoff and is shallow.
Sores are formed in depressions no more than one and a half meters deep. During the spring melting, the salt marsh is covered with a water surface, in which the sky is picturesquely reflected. In the summer, the crust freezes, you can walk freely — occasionally your feet will fall into salt deposits to a depth of 10-15 centimeters. Therefore, to walk on the surface of the salt marsh, you need to wear rubber boots or other waterproof shoes with a high boot. Or as an option — to walk barefoot.
Some tourists believe that a warm salt crust has a beneficial effect on the body. You can't drive through the salt marsh by car — the crust can't stand the weight of even a passenger car.
Every year, cars get stuck in the marshy area of the salt marsh, which are then very difficult to pull out. You can drive here by car only with local guides who know proven trails.

According to scientists, today's Mangystau region was once the bottom of the Tethys Ocean, located between the supercontinents of Laurasia and Gondwana, about 250 million years ago. This is evidenced by the skeletons of sharks and their teeth, which are sometimes found in this valley. Over time, as the water receded, the combination of wind and rain shaped the landscape, creating beautiful sculptural chalk cliffs, cliffs and depressions. It is believed that Sora Tuzbair, along with plateaus, gorges and ravines, was formed as a result of erosion of softer rocks.
