FIRST EVER TRAVEL VIDEO ABOUT AKTAU - KAZAKHSTAN IN ENGLISH

Aktau is a city that did not exist on the map until 1963. Who could imagine that the pearl of Kazakhstan could be built in the desert, with deadly winds and with no access to drinking water?
In this short video about Aktau, we will know what is the largest lake in the world, how Aktau became Oil&Gas producer, and what is so famous in Aktau.
Let's explore!
Places visited in the video:
- Caspian Sea Walk
- Cruise Excursion
- City center, Address: District 12 to District 4
- The yacht club, rent a yacht at 30$/hour
- Caves
- Zhetybay, 88km away from Aktau, oil production region.
- Local market. Try Shubat (Camel milk), dairy products (balgaimak, kurt, irimshik), dried fruits and honey.

Thank you very much for this film about my hometown. This is really FIRST video in English language 😍. I can show your film all my friends and colleagues in England. I have the professional film but it is in the Russian language and my English not very good for translation 😫. Thank you very much 👍❣

[@TomasAkynov]

Omg! This is amazing :) yes, indeed living overseas and not having lots of options to show your friends about country in English is kinda frustrating. Could you please share your video here?

[@daniyarpoladov2001]

Спасибо что снял видео про Актау. Показал красивые места. Скоро очень скоро домой с учебы, жду не дождусь свой родной город увидеть!!!

[@APPLECAKEPIE3477]

I just came across this video because I'm thinking on perhaps travel there and hopefully live there, right now I'm living in Venezuela and well is sad to say it because I love my country but there's no real future for me here, and maybe traveling to Aktau to meet some friends and have a new experience in life, can also open new opportunities for me, thank you for this video.

[@TomasAkynov]

Hello! I’m so sorry to hear that. Hope Venezuela will recover soon and lead to prosperity. We face the same in Kazakhstan, but we are in the transformation process. If you need any help in Kazakhstan, let me know :)

It looks beautiful. I was working in Atyrau for a few years and enjoyed it. But the city itself leaves a lot to be desired haha. This on the other hand looks wonderful. Hopefully will be based there by the end of the year!

[@TomasAkynov]

Atyrau is currently developing and I see that many projects are still in progress and hope it’ll make city more friendlier. Btw, I am working on the new project on ecotourism in Atyrau region, so I hope new tourist destinations will arise.

Мы с семьёй планируем в августе посетить этот прекрасный город! Где эта пещера? Где место которого вы назвали не только романтичным но и историческим?

[@TomasAkynov]

Добрый день! Супер, в августе и на море поплаваете, и арбуза вдоволь наедитесь. Пещера находится в 4 микрорайоне, за отелем Caspian Riviera. Исторические места находятся там же, прям около пещер. Советую заняться водными видами спорта, это становится очень популярно в Актау. Места посмотреть не в видео: - подземная мечеть Бекет Ата, около 3х часов от Актау - 43 км от Актау, есть красивое место где можно поплавать - Тамшалы - Шеркала - музей в Форт Шевченко - Торыш Если возникнут больше вопросов, задавайте :)

[@TomasAkynov]

Hello! Right now, the real estate is a bit higher than the last year due to some changes in law, however the real estate is way cheaper than in almaty. Winter is warm, but windy. We don’t have snow, a good place to be during winter.

[@TomasAkynov]

To experience more locally, you can try taking train. It takes 3 nights to reach Aktau 😂 or there’s new budget airline in Kazakhstan - ArystanAir. You can check them out. I think the prices shouldn’t be much

[@jasonshim7433]

Can you travel to Aktau by train from Almaty?

Yup! You can travel to Aktau from Almaty by train but it take 4 days 3 nights to reach. You can travel from Astana by train, and it’s 2 days.

Yes, they are artificial.

[@juanfreire6073]

@@TomasAkynov that is crazy.... And a little stupid, I know winter there must kill real one but still, the place looks nice.

[@TomasAkynov]

It looks really nice during summer. Unfortunately, the soil in Aktau is not really good for growing real palms. Hope you’ll visit Aktau soon.

[@eccIefechan]

They're very nice looking fakes, and pretty realistic. They give the place a subtropical Mediterranean ambience. BTW I don't think the soil is the problem. The problem is the cold temperatures in winter - the average temperature is around 0C for 3 months of the year which is enough to kill even the most hardly palm species e.g. Trachycarpus Fortunei.

[@dizainior]

@@eccIefechan No, it is particularly the soil. It is a desert. Palms are surviving in UK somehow and at the moment we have -2
