Thanks

Possible if you just need to say 'I have been to Kazakhstan'
Otherwise, probably a waste of time. The area on the other side of the border is absolutely flat and featureless, plus the road is really bad for part of the way to Atyrau.
If you manage to make it to Atyrau with enough time to get back in the same day, you won't have any time to do anything, and it's not a very nice place either.
With a week to play with, it could be worthwhile. A day is nothing.
