Urgench, a capital of Khorezm province
We came back to Urgench from Muynak through Nukus. The Muynak bus drove us to the old bus station of Nukus, and the locals advised to go to the market to catch a bus to Urgench there.

Last time we told the brief story of Muynak, a formerly thriving town with fisheries and canneries which due to the draining of the Aral Sea is currently dying out. Here we will tell about its main attraction bringing many tourists here – a ship graveyard.
Our trip to Central Asia started from Urgench, a city in the West of Uzbekistan. We started it there not occasionally: not far from Urgench there is a town of Muynak which used to be a blossoming industrial center at Aral Sea, but ended up as a dying out dessert village.
