This is actually the Burana Tower, which is the bottom half of the giant minaret of the now-vanished giant mosque of the now-vanished late-ninth-century Karakhanid city of Balasagan. The Karakhanids have also now vanished.

You can climb it by a spectacularly claustrophobic staircase

How does an entire city manage to disappear leaving empty plains, without this tower also disappearing?

The stairs look really no more claustrophobic than the ones in the dome of St. Peter's in Vatican City. And there probably fewer of them.
