Things to do in Atyrau

  1. A

    Atyrau History Museum

    The modernised Atyrau History Museum has some interesting displays including a replica of the local ‘Golden Man' – a 2nd-century-BC Sarmatian chief with gold-plated tunic, found in 1999 – and a room on recently excavated Saraychik, an old trading centre 55km north of Atyrau, where several khans of the Golden Horde were buried.

    Russian Orthodox church

    In the crumbling ‘old town' north of the public square, is a well-maintained Russian Orthodox church, dating from 1888, which emerges like a jewelled finger from the surrounding shacks.
