SeeThere is very little to see in Beyneu. A bazaar where fruit, vegetables and other goods can be purchased may be visited. Go through the doors at the end of the market; it's four times bigger than it looks initially.

BuyFruits, vegetables and honey at the small bazaar. A SIM card for a mobile phone at one of the number of mobile phone shops.

EatSamsa - a samosa made with onions and minced meat - available for around 50 tenge a piece. Other restaurants serving borsht and shashlyk are around but may be of dubious quality.

SleepHotel Duman - On the edge of town, a twin room with shared squat toilets and showers (with hot water) is available for 3000 tenge (2014). The hotel also has a restaurant.
