We recently visited a handful of cities in Uzbekistan, namely Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand, as well as the Aral Sea, which are part of the historical Silk Road route. The trip took more than two weeks and over 3,300km to complete, via plane, car and train.
Our journey began in the capital city of Tashkent, where we flew to Nukus and then hired a private vehicle to get to the Aral Sea. The drive was not smooth as the roads were in bad condition. But still, we managed to get to Moynaq, which is an abandoned harbour near the Aral Sea.
