Transportation from the City Center to Atyrau Airport
The city of Atyrau is the main port city of Kazakhstan on the Caspian Sea coast. In addition, oil and natural gas are extracted in the city. That's why most of the westerners here work in these jobs. Since the Ural River, which is considered the border between Europe and Asia, passes through the middle of the city, the city is considered to have lands on both continents.
Another interesting information is; Since it is 22 meters below sea level, Atyrau Airport is considered to be the international airport with the lowest altitude in the world. Atyrau Airport, the main airport of the city, is approximately 7 km from the city center, but your transfer options are limited to taxi and private transfer.
Since most of the taxis in the city are not signposted, it is a little difficult to spot them. Also, there are no taximeters. That's why you should agree on the price before you start your journey. You can do this by showing the banknotes in your hand or by saying the numbers directly in Turkish because the pronunciation of our numbers is very close.
It is known that taxi drivers ask for more money when the journey is over and they argue with tourists on this issue. If you want a safer taxi ride, you can call Rhythm and Voyage companies and call a taxi by phone. If you are going to return from somewhere late at night, it is especially recommended to call a taxi by phone. Be prepared for prices to skyrocket at least double or triple under the nightly rate.
Rhythm (Phone: 252525)
Voyage (Phone: 326045)
Your option other than a taxi is to book a private transfer. The most logical and easy way for this is to contact the hotel you are staying at and use the hotel's own transfer, if available. Another is to arrange an airport transfer from the city's tourist agencies or online agencies. If you have come here for business, you can also ask your contacts in the city to drop you off at the airport.
