This summer I am trying to see all the sights and sounds of Atyrau. That may be easy and difficult at the same time since there is not a lot to do or see here. The first stop was Makhambet Square. It is located in the center of Atyrau and a place where they host large events and festivals. It was built to honor two leaders, Isatai Taimanov and Makhambet Utemisov, whom, over 200 years ago, fought for Kazakhstan's independence. The men are carrying a sword and the other a dombra. A dombra is native to Kazakhstan and is similar to a guitar. Like Cowboys, the warriors use this at night for entertainment. The boys liked looking at all the weapons and climbing all the steps.
