View on Google Mapsdaytrip to Muynak and Nukus was nice experience. Especially, Savitsky museum showed best "spirit" of socialism, communism during USSR. It was ideal period to visit museum as it was less crowded. Driver was helpful and polite, thanks to him.
we had fantastic time to travel to ex-Aral Sea port city - Muynak and Nukus. Despite cold weather, driver did this journey smooth and convenient
We fancied doing this trip based on watching numerous videos about Uzbekistan and wanting to see something different as we are not fans of big groups tours. Olimjon from Oxus Travel got in touch a day or so before the tip to arrange a meet at our hotel to provide a briefing and answer any questions that we may have - He also messaged over via Whatsapp some voice recordings and links to the relevent parts of the trip. The driver, Nodirbek (Nodir) was polite and helpful - we managed to communicate with a mixture of Russian and English and the car, although small (a locally made Chevrolet Cobalt), was clean and well maintained with seatbelts in the back. This is a long day leaving at 0600hrs and coming back to our hotel in Khiva round 2000hrs although given the itiniery and distance (nearly 500 miles) it wasn't unreasonable. We were most interested in the Savitsky gallery at Nukus and the 'harbour' at Muynak but thought that Chilpik Dakhma, also known as Chilpik Kala, the ancient Zoroastrian Tower of Silence and Mizdakhan Necropolis were also worth visiting. Overall a great day out. Interesting to note that outside of major cities there is little in the way of petrol (gasoline) so the cars use LPG (gas) so every now and then you would pull up at at filling station and all passengers have to get out whilst the car is fuelled and you get back in on the way out.

We really enjoyed this off-the-beaten path adventure. Olimjon was easily to schedule with in advance and very responsive to our questions. Our driver, Jolon, kept us safe! I am so delighted to have visited the Savitsky Museum. The building is absolutely gorgeous, as is the art, of course. I would go back again and again if I could! We also really enjoyed the Aral Sea. A sad situation that deserves attention. A great trip despite the many hours in the car! So glad we did it.
I booked a Muynak and Nukus daytrip with Oxus. Despite the fact that I contacted the manager only 12 hours in advance, he was able to organize everything to my perfect satisfaction. Furthermore, the manager was able to get me a railway ticket for my return trip to Tashkent, though there was no availability from Khiva and Urgench. He found a ticket from a small train station nearby and even organized the transportation to the small station. His prices for both transactions were the best I could find online. The drivers were friendly and reliable. The manager and his drivers were absolutely honest and I can strongly recommend Oxus. Thanks a lot.
ヒヴァからのドライブは中々遠かったですが、ドライバーは安全運転でアラル海まで連れて行ってくれました。 ウラル海まで来れると思っていなかったので、船の墓場や博物館を見て大満足でした。 途中のヌクスの街並みもとても良かったです。
I highly recommend Oxus Travel! I arranged this tour the day before, and they were very professional and accommodating of the last minute booking. I generally travel solo and the audio guide materials that Olimjon shared ahead of my tour helped me appreciate the sights even more.
The trip was amazing! Everything was perfectly organized by Olimjan, from the transport to the meals. It was a fantastic day with the Oxus Travel, so memorable! Highly recommend other visitors to use their service! Thanks a bunch!
We did a tour to Muynak, which was a very long day but in the end worth it as the destination is quite unique. If you book a tour with Oxus, essentially you are only booking a car + driver. The owner does provide some “audio guide” which is not more than short spoken whatsapp messages and some youtube videos. The driver did nor speak any english but was friendly, safe and very punctual. I think the price they ask is a bit steep compared to other companies. The location for lunch was not very good. We did not like the food, not to mention the hygiene.
We did our tour in may 2023, but back then Oli did not have this Tripadvisor page. That said, I wanted to vouch for him here, because Oli is a very kind, professional and knowledgeable guide. We very much enjoyed our tour and we highly recommend his services. My wife was pregnant when we did the tour and he was very accommodating to our requests, specially regarding toilet stops. Also, Oli was quite invested in making sure we would enjoy every moment of our visit. We had a memorable experience visiting Karakalpakstan!
