Top Nukus How to Get Around

This is a fully private tour combining two of Uzbekistan's most powerful destinations in one day. No shared groups, no fixed schedules — just you and a comfortable private vehicle. At the Moynak Ship Graveyard, you'll walk freely among rusting Soviet-era vessels stranded in the middle of the desert, witnesses to one of the worst ecological disasters in history. Then stop at Mizdakhan, a 2,400-year-old necropolis where Zoroastrian and Islamic traditions intertwine amid ancient mausoleums, legends, and pilgrimage rituals found nowhere else in Central Asia. A rare journey through both natural tragedy and deep history — far off the standard tourist trail.

Immerse yourself in the unique and rich cultural heritage of Karakalpakstan. We will head to the Chimbay district, where you'll find an array of craft workshops. At the Uyshi workshop, you will gain firsthand experience of the processes involved in producing the traditional Karakalpak yurt. Additionally, you'll witness carpet weavers creating beautiful strips to adorn the yurt’s framework and interior. Another village, Khalkabad, features authentic Karakalpak houses with flat roofs. This charming place is located near a canal where reeds flourish. The local residents are skilled in harvesting these reeds and crafting reed mats known as "shiy," used for yurt decoration. During your visit, you'll participate in a master class on traditional Karakalpak bread-making and learn how to prepare Zhuer Gurtuk from jukar flour, as well as the popular oil-fried pieces of dough known as baursaks. Join us in exploring this fascinating tour and uncover the hidden treasures of Karakalpakstan!

Discover the wild beauty of the Aral Sea with locals who truly know the land. Your 2-day adventure takes you from the haunting Ship Cemetery of Muynak to the breathtaking Ustyurt Plateau and peaceful Aral shores. Enjoy cozy nights in yurts, homemade meals, and personal service from a local team passionate about showing you the real Karakalpakstan — its history, landscapes, and heart. According to your needs our professional photographer will be along with you throughout the tour!

This program allows you to feel the spirit of the "Great Desert" and its unpredictability and the "Great Sea" and its catastrophe. You will witness places that was named as "Cemetery of Ships".
