- Is there any deep sand? If yes, for how long?
No, but it can get dusty. It's dried, washed out mud between close to the turning for the Temir Baba shrine (south of Kendirli) and Bekdash. It was bone-shaking stuff in June 2014.
- I guess there are no rivers to cross?
Nope
- Where are gas stations?
Zhanaozen and Bekdash
- Bekdash to Zhanaozen easily possible for inexperienced guy on a R 1200GS within one day?
No idea really, I'm not a biker but I would say it's perfectly doable if you take care.
- Recommendations for places to stay are most welcome!
Can't help there either as I stayed with locals, or camped. Take plenty of water!
