When the Aktobe — Atyrau route comes in handy
Aktobe is the largest city in the west of the country, the industrial centre of Aktobe Region near the border with Russia. Atyrau is the country’s oil capital on the Ural River near the Caspian; major oil and gas projects and international companies operate here. The cities are about 520 km apart as the crow flies: the trip overland takes many hours, so many people fly.
From Aktobe people send documents, work papers from local companies, clothes and gifts for relatives in other regions. In Atyrau parcels are awaited by oil and gas specialists, rotation workers, their colleagues and families.
