Welcome to
Atyrau Expats!
We've put together this website as a resource for the expatriot community
of Atyrau, Kazakhstan and workers in the surrounding oil fields of Tengiz and Kashagan. It is intended to be an information
resource for those foreigners who are living in, or just visiting Atyrau. Sochi.
Recently, a Forum has been added. This will allow members to post information, or ask questions. Membership to the forum
is FREE. All you need to do is register. The forum also contains a "Chat" area, where members can communicate with
one another in real time.
For those who are new to this region, we hope this website will be helpful. We'll be adding information to our directory as
we can. For those who have been longtime residents of the city, any information that you can add will be most appreciated!

For those who are unfamiliar, Atyrau is a city in western Kazakhstan, and the capital
of Atyrau Province. It is located 2700 kilometers west of Almaty and 350 kilometers east of the Russian city of Astrakhan,
which is located at the mouth of the Volga River.
Together with Aktau, Atyrau is Kazakhstan's main harbour city on the Caspian Sea at the delta of the Ural River.
Atyrau city is approximately 20 meters below sea level, and is divided by the Ural River, which is considered the boundary
between Europe and Asia. It is not unusual for someone to live in Europe and commute to work in Asia on a daily basis!
