The Aral Sea, once one of the largest inland seas in the world, has dramatically receded, leaving behind vast stretches of desert and unique landscapes. Today, visiting the Aral Sea region is not just a journey through nature, but also a powerful lesson about history, ecology, and resilience.
Traveling across the former seabed, you will see the salt deserts and canyons shaped by the ancient Tethys Ocean, offering landscapes unlike anywhere else in Uzbekistan. The sunrise over the remaining Aral Sea coast is a breathtaking spectacle — calm, silent, and unforgettable.
Your trip to Muynak, once a thriving fishing port, provides both cultural and culinary discoveries. The town’s famous smoked river fish is a must-try delicacy, delicious and affordable (around $3 per kg). By purchasing it, you directly support the livelihoods of Muynak’s residents, who continue to preserve their traditions despite ecological challenges.
An Aral Sea tour combines natural wonders, authentic local experiences, and a deeper understanding of one of the world’s greatest environmental changes. It is an essential addition to your Uzbekistan journey for travelers who seek something truly different.
