Living Expense in Atyrau , Kazakhstan

Atyrau origins can be traced back to the 1640's. Initially it was a fortified town located at the mouth of the Yaik River, where it flowed into the Caspian Sea. The Yaik would eventually be renamed by Catherine II and become the Ural River. The town was originally built using wood, however after being plundered by Cossacks, the town was rebuilt using stone by the Guryev family who were the first to start a fishery on the river and extract Emba oil. Consequently from 1708 to 1992 the city was known as Guryev in honour of the founding family. Since 1992 however the city has been known as Atyrau which means 'the place where the river flows into the sea'. The Ural river marks a border between Asia and Europe. Thus it is said that the Ural divides Atyrau into two parts, European and Asian. Originally the city was constructed mainly on the Europen side. Oil development began in the city during the late 19th century and today is the primary industry in Atyrau. Get in It is possible to enter Atyrau by air and by rail.
