From the history of the city, until 1992 Atyrau was called Guryev in honor of the Russian merchant Gury, who founded a village here in 1615 with his personal money. Today Atyrau is the regional center of the Atyrau region. Atyrau is called a lagoon city, as it is located in the Caspian lowland where the Ural River carries its waters into the Caspian Sea, dividing the city into European and Asian parts. The lands of the Atyrau region are rich in oil and gas fields, and the river is home to a lot of commercial fish.
The climate here is sharply continental, there are frequent dust storms, but snow is rare.
Among the attractions of Atyrau I would like to note the Museum of History and Local Lore, which is one of the oldest museums in the Republic of Kazakhstan. It was formed in 1939. The museum has halls of archaeology, ethnography, regional history of the 58th-000th centuries, modern history, history of culture and literature, halls “The Mystery of the Century”, “Consonance of the Ages”.
