  • Ayaz-Kala
    Rising above the desert like a forgotten giant, Ayaz Kala is one of the most striking fortresses of ancient Khorezm. The climb takes only a few minutes, but the reward is unforgettable: endless views of the Kyzylkum Desert, quiet winds, and complete silence. Walking among the crumbling walls, you can almost imagine ancient soldiers guarding the frontier two thousand years ago. It’s a peaceful and powerful place that many travelers call the highlight of their day.
  • Fortress Toprak Kala
    Often described as the “lost city” of Khorezm, Toprak Kala offers a rare chance to step inside a real archaeological site. Once the royal residence of Khorezm rulers, the fortress still shows the outlines of rooms, halls, and corridors that were once filled with life. It’s a calm, open area where you can walk freely, explore at your own pace, and feel the deep history of this desert kingdom without crowds. The sense of ancient royalty is strong here.
  • After exploring the fortresses, Zahratun Restaurant is the perfect place to relax. It’s a comfortable, clean, and friendly spot where travelers enjoy fresh local dishes, cool drinks, and a quiet break before continuing the journey. Whether you prefer traditional Uzbek food or something simple and light, the menu has plenty of good choices. It’s a refreshing pause in the middle of a long desert drive.
  • The Varnet Botanical Garden is a surprising change of scenery — green trees, peaceful paths, and fresh air right in the middle of the desert route. It’s a short, pleasant stop to stretch your legs, enjoy the cooler atmosphere, and take a walk among plants that normally don’t thrive in this region. Travelers enjoy it as a gentle, relaxing break before the final section of the journey.
