Akyrtas is located in the foothill of the Kyrgyz Alatau, in a territorial corridor between the Kyzylkum desert, the transition through which due to the lack of water sources was difficult, and the mountain range, which supplied the caravanserais of Akyrtas with water. One of the distinctive features of Akyrtas is a complex system of collection and conservation of water resources.
Akyrtas is a sort of a unique set of multi caravanserais, located in a small compact area and dating back to the chronological range from the 11th to 14th centuries. At Akyrtas site were investigated buildings, directly or indirectly related to the maintenance and development of trade. An extensive network of hydraulic structures, gardens and parkland created the necessary facilities for living, commerce and industry. The various fortifications and signal facilities were created to provide security and to facilitate unimpeded trade along the Silk Roads. The distance of Akyrtas to two nearest towns is equal to the day-shift caravan.
