Review of the 2-day Aral Sea tour from Nukus, with Muynak, the ship cemetery, Ustyurt Plateau, yurt camp, costs, roads, and practical tips.

“nous avons passé un moment extraordinaire dans les paysages de la mer d'Aral. Un paysage désertique, et une mer en disparition. L'organisation était parfaite. Les véhicules étaient parfaitement adaptés aux routes chaotiques du désert. La nuit en Yourte était une belle expérience. Nous conseillons ce voyage mémorable. Attention cependant à prendre en compte le coût supplémentaire des repas, de la nuit en Yourte et du musée de la mer d'Aral. Vous vous rapprocherez alors plus des 700 euros.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3 reviews · 1 day · from $590

Review of the Aral Sea day trip from Nukus, with Muynak, ship cemetery, Ustyurt Plateau, yurt lunch, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“The day was good and our driver and guide was excellent. However, the company that we went with had not taken on board that we were doing the one day trip. When we arrived at the Yurt camp, they expected us to stay there. We should have arrived at lunchtime, not tea time. The driver then had to do the long drive back. They did try to put us under pressure to stay but that was not possible as we were travelling the next day. I would suggest that the company carefully checks. We were given the first day of the two day trip, rather than the one day trip.…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 2 reviews · from $65Best value

Review of the Muynak Ship Cemetery tour from Nukus, with Mizdakhan, lunch, museum details, pricing, transport, and practical booking advice.

“This is not a tour ! I will be asking for a substantial refund. This is a taxi ride by a non English speaker to the ship cemetery, and then a taxi ride back. No stops on the way/return at mausoleum, etc. and does not include entrance fee to museum (35k). If you want to go (not saying you shouldn't !) suggest you get yourself a taxi.”
