This tour is specially designed for those who, after visiting Khiva, want to see even more! A tour to Muynak from Khiva is a great opportunity to expand the geography of your trip and discover new secrets of Uzbekistan. In two days you will visit the monuments of Ancient Khorezm, a state almost 2000 years old: the Toprak-kala fortress and the Zoroastrian funeral tower Chilpyk. Stay overnight in Nukus, the capital of Karakalpakstan. In Nukus you will visit the Savitsky Museum, which contains unique paintings of Russian avant-garde art that Igor Savitsky hid from Soviet censors in the 20th century, taking them to the edge of the Empire. And then you will go to the finish line – the city of Muynak, which was once a major port, but today is surrounded by a desert for hundreds of kilometers. The fact that there was once a sea here is evidenced only by the sad cemetery of ships. Check out the details of the tour to Muynak from Khiva and hurry up to book this unusual trip!
