Itinerary

1. The road north

   Drive from Nukus through the farmland and steppe of the Amu Darya delta — several hours each way.

2. Moynaq museum

   The town's museum tells how Moynaq lived from the sea, and how the sea withdrew.

3. The ship cemetery

   Walk among the rusting boats on the former seabed, on the old shoreline above the town.

4. Return to Nukus

   Back at your hotel in the evening.

Good to know

• Full-day package — guide, car and lunch are included; entrance tickets are paid on the spot (your guide helps you buy them).
• The present-day shore of the Aral Sea is much further away and needs an overnight 4x4 expedition — not part of this day trip.
• It is a long day in the car; we confirm the timing in your quote.
