Arys is a city in the Turkestan Oblast of southern Kazakhstan, located on the banks of the Syr Darya River, about 70 kilometers from the capital city of Turkestan. As an important regional transportation hub, Arysi is connected to major cities such as Tashkent and Chimkent, and has a well-developed rail and road network. The city has a predominantly agricultural and food-processing industry, with cotton, grains and fruits being produced in the surrounding area.
Areci was founded in the late 19th century during the Russian Empire and initially developed as a military stronghold. The current population of around 40,000 is predominantly Kazakh and retains a traditional nomadic culture with Islamic practices. The city is surrounded by steppe landscapes and historical monuments, such as the ruins of an ancient caravanserai.
The economy is based on the processing of agricultural and sideline products and logistics and transportation, with flour mills, canned food factories and other enterprises. The pace of life is relaxed, and the weekend bazaars (markets) are full of local flavor, with traditional foods such as naan bread and horse milk common. In recent years, the government is promoting the modernization of infrastructure to improve the quality of life of residents.
