A one-day tour to Aktau is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the capital of Mangistau, its architecture, culture and history. Aktau is a small city and in one day you can see almost all the sights and beautiful places. In 1956, rich uranium deposits were discovered near the future Aktau, and this was the reason for the construction of the city in a distant lifeless land. The first buildings were erected in 1959, and 5 years later it was already a large city with all the infrastructure. Gradually, uranium mining receded into the background as oil was found in the region. Today, Aktau is considered the unofficial capital of Kazakhstan's oil and gas industry, and for tourists it is the gateway to the mysterious world of Mangistau. Our one-day tour of Aktau is an aperitif before the big journey through Mangistau.
