A yurt is a unique dwelling of the Turkic nomads, made of felt and wood, and fully adapted for nomadic life. It is considered one of the most mobile dwellings in the world, as it is easily assembled and dismantled, allowing it to keep cool in summer but warm in winter. The inside of the yurt is fully functional, with the woman’s side accounting for a kitchen, the man’s side for keeping homeowner’s stuff, and the guest's side, as guests always carry a special status in nomadic culture. Being an invention of the ancient past, the yurt is still actively used in everyday life; the traditional knowledge and skills in making the Kyrgyz and Kazakh yurts were introduced to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
