What you will see
Atyrau is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 15:04:12 local time, the Moon hides 11.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 14:20:56 and ends at 15:46:16, 1 h 25 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 56° above the horizon, towards the south-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Atyrau.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,766 km south-west of Atyrau.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Samālūţ, about 2,781 km south-west, where totality lasts 2 m 49 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
