About location

Among the regions of Kazakhstan, East Kazakhstan Region stands out for the upper Irtysh basin and its stretch of the Altai Mountains. Its administrative centre, Öskemen, stands where the Irtysh and Ulba rivers meet, while river reservoirs and hydropower are central to the regional landscape and economy. Forested mountain terrain in the east contrasts sharply with Kazakhstan’s extensive steppe. The supplied coordinates, however, are in Semey: since 2022 this Irtysh-side city has been in Abai Region, created from part of the former East Kazakhstan Region. Semey is associated with Abai Qunanbaiuly and Fyodor Dostoevsky, who lived there in the 1850s. Discover further places of interest through webcams across East Kazakhstan Region.
