Best Uzbekistan Activities: Visit The Aral Sea

The Aral Sea used to be one of the largest inland lakes in the world. Blame for its Drying out is the human error, because in favor of agriculture the water was taken from the tributaries of the lake to irrigate the fields. As a result, the lake dried up more and more and is now almost completely without water. Precisely because of its tragic history, it now attracts many visitors who want to see the world's youngest desert, the Aralkum Desert, with their own eyes.
You can visit the former harbour town of Myonak or explore the old ship cemetery.

Sleep one night in a yurt

To get a particularly authentic insight into the life of the Normads, a night in a yurt should definitely be on your to-do list. You don't have to be a camping enthusiast to do this, as the yurt tents are very large and cosy. Many yurt villages can be found in the region of Lake Aydar-Kul. Here you can swim in the lake during the day and enjoy a delicious traditional dinner with the others around the campfire in the evening.

Visit of a silk manufactory

Do you love beautiful fabrics with high quality? Then you will love a trip to a silk factory and should make a day trip to the Ferganan Valley. There, in the old town of Margilan, you will find two famous silk factories that you can visit and learn all about the production and processing of fine fabrics.
