Nukus-Muynak-Aral Sea

Nukus-Muynak-Aral Sea

Until the mid-1980s, Muynak was a developed fishing port city on the southern coast of the Aral Sea, which was once full-flowing and so large that it was called the sea and ships sailed on it. There were magnificent beaches, an abundance of fish. Now this place has turned into a desert.
In Muynak you will visit the monument to the victims of the Second World War (now symbolically dedicated to the Aral Sea). The monument is located on the highest point of Muynak, from where a unique panoramic view of the city and the bottom of the Aral Sea opens.
