Hi
Forget about the road from maqat to quandiaghash (or however it's written ;-) ). There is absolutely no road at all. Or check at least before you leave about the wheather for the last 5 days or so. The guys we met have broken the suspension of the Land Rover on that road. Go over atyrau/oralsk. It's more kilometer, but at least there is some sort of road and traffic so you don't get stuck ;-)
cheers
