Private Day Trip Details

Pickup will be at your hotel in Nukus at the agreed time, followed by a three-hour drive to the port of Moynaq, once part of the Aral Sea's inner basin.

Upon arrival at the ship graveyard of Moynaq, we will explore the area filled with rusty ships that were once part of the sea, significantly altered by human actions.
