Aral Sea Tours from Khiva

Discover the Aral Sea region — Muynak's ship cemetery, dramatic canyons and desert roads — on guided tours departing from Khiva with experienced drivers.

Classic Aral Sea tour from Khiva

Most Aral Sea tours from Khiva are 1–2 day trips to Muynak and viewpoints over the former shoreline, with stops for photos and local lunch.

Longer routes add Ustyurt Plateau canyons and Nukus for the Savitsky Museum.

What to expect on the road

Desert highways, seasonal tracks and bright skies — we use air-conditioned SUVs or minivans and carry water.

Start times are early in summer; spring and autumn offer the best light for photography.
