Transportation from Atyrau Airport to the City Center
Atyrau is the main port city of Kazakhstan on the Caspian Sea coast. Since the Ural River, which is considered the border of two continents, passes through the middle of the city, it is considered to have lands in both Europe and Asia.
Since the city is 22 meters below sea level, Atyrau Airport is considered one of the lowest international airports in the world. Although Atyrau Airport, the main airport of the city, is approximately 7 km from the city center, you do not have many options for transfer.
Taxis in Atyrau are generally unsigned, so it can be a little difficult to spot them. They also don't have standard fares or taximeters. Therefore, before you start your journey, you should agree on the price and make sure that you agree on how much by showing the banknotes in your hand.
Likewise, it is a known practice that taxi drivers ask for more money when the journey is over and argue with tourists about it. Most taxi drivers only speak Kazakh Turkish or Russian, so if you master the numbers, at least you'll be more comfortable with the price. You are lucky because the numbers in Kazakh Turkish are very similar to those in our language.
If you want, you can call Rhythm and Voyage companies and call a taxi by phone. If you are going to return from the bar or other place late at night, it is especially recommended to call a taxi. Even if you don't have such a chance, at least don't take a taxi alone. As a nightly rate, be prepared for prices to skyrocket at least two or three times.

Your option other than a taxi is to arrange a private transfer. You have several different options for this. The first is to contact the hotel you are staying at and use the hotel's own transfer directly, if available.
Another is to book your city center transfer with the company if you buy a tour online, and the last is to arrange an airport transfer from online sites. If you are going to Atyrau for business, you can also ask your contacts in the city to meet you.
