Nukus

Nukus, the capital of Karakalpakstan Republic that lies in the northwest region of Uzbekistan, is a fascinating gateway shrouded with a healthy dose of mystery and intrigue. Surrounded by expansive desert valleys, Nukus gains its distinction for housing the world’s second largest collection of Russian avant-grade art at the Savitsky Collection, an absolute treat for art and history enthusiasts. Infamously known as the city deliberately designed isolated by the Soviets, it peaks interest with its unusual location, Ustyurt Plateau, and the corroded ship cemetery in Moynaq, portraying a haunting image of Aral Sea's tragic history. The city's off-beaten paths, its rich cultural tapestry, and unconventional charm make Nukus a compelling choice for adventurous travellers thirsting for an exotic escape.

I went there w my mom and auntie i admit that the local people was a little rough and the meals wasn't delicious at all we just bought fast food from Oqtepa lavash but the taxis was cheap and bazaars are good enough.
