Jeep tour to disappearing sea

The Aral Sea and the surrounding deserts and cities form a unique region in the heart of Central Asia, which, probably, has no equals anywhere in the world. Currently, the once large saltwater lake occupies one fourth of its original area, shrinking still more year after year, leaving towns and villages that once were on its shore in the centre of a white desert named after the disappearing sea, the Aralkum desert. The shrunken sea has ruined the once-robust fishing economy and left fishing trawlers stranded in sandy wastelands, leaning over as if they dropped from the air.

However, the sea is still alive and beautiful!

The jeep adventure to the Aral Sea is very interesting and adventurous, revealing the wonderful world of the Central Asian nature and unique oriental culture. The extraterrestrial landscapes of the little-studied Ustyurt Plateau, the gigantic blue mirror of the Aral Sea, once an important Central Asian weather regulator, the sorrowful ship graveyard – rusted ships frozen in the desert, the grandiose Mizdahkan necropolis, the ghost town Muynak, the hot sands of the Kyzylkum desert and the inner part of Khiva, left almost untouched since the medieval times – you will see all this for five days!

Travel to Uzbekistan and ride on jeep to see with your own eyes what happened to the Aral Sea. Find yourself amidst an absolutely different, unusual world, which will be so different from what you observe every day!
