4-Day Active Tour Around Almaty

Singing Dune
A natural wonder that emits a deep, resonant hum when the wind moves its sands—a rare and mysterious desert phenomenon
The Singing Dune in Altyn-Emel is one of nature’s quirkiest surprises. Towering at 150 meters, this sandy giant "sings" when the wind sweeps across it, creating a deep, humming sound like an aircraft in the distance. It’s not magic—just a rare natural effect that’s puzzled and amazed visitors for centuries. Even after rain, the dune stays dry, keeping its mysterious voice alive in the middle of the desert, surrounded by dramatic mountains and endless steppe
