Nukus - Aral Sea (8h)
At 08:00 we’ll start drive into the hinterland and to the Ustyurt Plateau. The drive takes us via Kungrad district, which used to be one of the trading centres on the Silk Road.
Arrive in Muynak, to the ‘cemetery of ships’ where the husks of rusting ships lie stranded in the sand of this dry sea bed. We’ll visit the museum to learn more about this disaster and have a lunch in the guesthouse.
On arrival at the ever-shrinking Aral Sea, we’ll have dinner under the starry desert sky and then retire for the night to our cozy yurts amid the surreal moon-like surroundings.
Overnight in the yurt.
