Kazakhstan accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on April 29, 1994. Its inscribed sites span both cultural and natural heritage.
Cultural nominations emphasize ancient urban and religious architecture—such as the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, Silk Road corridor remnants, and extensive Bronze‑ and Iron‑Age petroglyph sites—while its natural listings highlight steppe ecosystems, mountain ranges, wetlands, and desert landscapes.
