This article analyses the constructive solution and aesthetic design of the yurt as a unique invention of mankind. Due to its convenience and practicality, the yurt fully meets the needs of the nomads. It is quickly assembled and easily disassembled in one hour or less by the forces of one family. The yurt is easily transported by camel, horse or oxen; its felt cover provides protection from the rain, wind and cold. The hole at the top of the dome is used for daylight and allows using the hearth. The article describes the assembling of the yurt and the installation of its shanyrak. The shanyrak is mounted on the right side of the yurt. The frontal side of the shanyrak is set directly opposite the mandaisha, supported with a wooden pole (baqan) with a forked upper end. The other end of the pole is put in the center of the yurt helping to lift the shanyrak.
