What are the options of getting from Beyneu to Aktau in Kazakhstan? - A Person Holding a Bucket while Getting Coffee Beans From the Machine

I'm going by train from Moscow to the Kazakh village of Beyneu. From there I'll either hitchhike or take a marshrukta to Aktau.

  1. How easy is it to find a driver willing to take you to Aktau at 16:30 on a Friday, right after a train arrival?

  2. What do marshrutkas from Beyneu to Aktau cost?

I've heard it's "a few dollars", not very helpful as the price is actually in tenge.



Best Answer

Turns out there are Taxis for 5000 tenge, taking 5 hours. They do try to charge foreigners 50000 though - just get into the car and automatically hand over 5000
