Atyrau Region, Administrative region in western Kazakhstan
The Atyrau Region encompasses 118,600 square kilometers of territory along the Caspian Sea, featuring both desert landscapes and the Ural River delta.
The region transformed from a remote steppe territory into an industrial center after the discovery of substantial oil reserves in the Caspian Depression during the 1970s.
The population of 681,241 residents includes Kazakhs, Russians, Koreans, and Tatars, each maintaining their traditions while contributing to the regional identity.
The region contains seven administrative districts, with the capital city Atyrau serving as the primary transportation and economic hub for western Kazakhstan.
The Ural River divides the region between two continents, placing the western territories in Europe and the eastern section in Asia.
