  • Ayaz-Kala
    Ayaz Kala is actually a group of three ancient desert fortresses (Ayaz Kala 1, 2, and 3), believed to have been built between the 4th century BCE and the 7th century CE. These fortresses were part of the ancient civilization of Khorezm, which played a key role along early Silk Road routes
  • Fortress Toprak Kala
    Toprak Kala, meaning “Earthen Fortress,” was a large, fortified city built around the 1st–2nd century CE. Unlike Ayaz Kala (which was mainly defensive), Toprak Kala served as a royal residence and administrative center of the Khorezmian rulers.
  • Kyzyl Kala
    Kyzyl Kala means “Red Fortress”, named after the reddish color of its mud-brick walls. It dates to the 1st–4th century CE and served as a fortified residence or defensive structure connected to nearby Toprak Kala.
  • Aqcha Lake is one of the oldest lakes in Karakalpakstan. It is 40 metres deep. In the past it consisted of 3 parts, but as water from Amu Darya stopped coming 2 parts of it dried out.
  • Cotton Field Immersion. Leave the city limits behind and pause alongside local cotton fields. Your driver will share insights into the region’s agricultural landscape, explaining how cotton farming has shaped the economy and daily life of the Khorezm oasis across generations.
  • Melon & Watermelon Degustation in Shabbaz Melon Market. Take a delicious morning break in the agricultural hub of Shabbaz. Experience the legendary sweetness of local produce with a fresh degustation of seasonal watermelons and premium Khorezm melons, globally renowned for their unmatched flavor and juiciness.
