Atamurat, located in the Lebap region of eastern Turkmenistan near the border with Afghanistan, is an important transportation hub of the country. Originally named Chärjew, it was renamed in honor of the national hero Atamurat. The city has a well-developed railroad network connecting the major cities of Turkmenbashi and Mare, and is a key node of the Trans-Afghan Railway, which facilitates the flow of trade in the region. The city's economy is based on agriculture and light industry, and the climate is arid with little rainfall and sparse vegetation. As a border town, Atamurat is both strategic and multicultural, and despite its small size, plays an important role in the development of eastern Turkmenistan.
