Enjoy a trip to Muynak from Nukus to explore the pre-Aral Sea area and Muynak, the city that is used to be rich and prosperous sea port back in the days.
Nowadays, Muynak is slowly evolving again - with a government help and new manufacturing - baked & smoked river fish. We strongly suggest you to try it out - the taste is gentle and delicious.
