Aktau is the only port on the Caspian coast and the most important center of Mangistav on the Mangyshlak Peninsula of Kazakhstan. Due to the presence of oil and uranium reserves in the city, this area has become the city center. The city, which is 18 meters below sea level, is completely surrounded by steppes. There are almost no trees, resulting in a continental climate. There are many places to visit and see in the city, which has all the characteristics of a continental climate. It is the center of attention of tourists with its historical museums, cultural regions, places such as Beket-Ata mosque, Yntimak square, Dramatic theater, as well as its coasts and beaches. City living is very orderly and planned.
