On this private day trip to the ship graveyard of Moynaq, we will explore the significant environmental impact that led to the near-total disappearance of the Aral Sea.

Private Day Trip Details

We will pick you up at your hotel in Nukus at the agreed time and travel to the port of Moynaq, formerly part of the Aral Sea.

After a three-hour drive, we will arrive at the ship graveyard of Moynaq, which showcases many rusting vessels that once navigated the sea. This area reflects the drastic human actions that contributed to the sea's disappearance.
