Nukus

Nukus is a city in Qaraqalpakistan, Uzbekistan. It is the capital of the region. However, even by Uzbek standards the town is fairly decrepit and most travellers only stay one night in order to see the Savitsky gallery.

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Nukus

Uzbekistan Airways operates Flights from

• Moscow Domodedovo International Airport on Mon
• Tashkent

Tashkent International Airport (TAS). Uzbekistan Airways flies Iluyshin IL-114s (2hr 45min) and Airbus A320s (1hr 45hmin) twice daily to Nukus Airport (NCU) Flying an IL-114 is an adventure itself. They fly slower and lower allowing great views of the Kyzyl Kum desert and the planes are in reasonable conditions.

By rail

Trains depart from Tashkent twice a week and head for Kungrad via Samarkand on the way; these trains stop at Nukus station. Note however that there is no direct train between Nukus and Urgench (for Khiva) as Urgench is on a different branch line.

By car

Shared taxis run to and from Urgench, which is a major interchange with taxi connections to Khiva, Bukhara, and the airport. You will probably need a local taxi between the taxi stand the hotels in the centre of Nukus.

Get Around

Taxis are plentiful and affordable - a short hop in town should cost 500-1000 som. Everything you'll want to see is in walking distance however.

• Aral Sea
• Khiva
• Urgench

What to See

Nukus Art Museum - The Art Museum

• Karakalpak Museum of Arts - Do not miss the Karakalpakstan State Museum of Art's Igor Savitsky Collection with its unique collection of many thousands of works by dissenting artists from the Soviet Union during the period in which Stalinist socialist realism was the only permitted form of Soviet art. The documentary film The Desert of Forbidden Art is all about the collection and its history. Many travelers believe this is the only compelling reason to visit Nukus.

Nearby is the Museum of Applied Arts showing local fabrics, traditional clothing and jewelry. The Karakalpak State Museum exhibits examples of natural history, including the very last Turan Tiger, caught in 1972.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Nukus

Due to being the closest major city to the Aral Sea, Nukus is a good place to start trips to the shore and to Moynoq. The former fishing town is some 200 kilometers away and a witness of the dying Aral Sea. Its main "attraction" is the infamous ship graveyard.

A taxi from Nukus to Moynaq costs around US$70, asking price in Hotels is around US$100. For a day trip, start early as it is 3-3½ hours one way. Marshrutkas also go to Moynaq via Kungrad.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Nukus

There is a huge sprawling market near the bus station, selling the usual range of affordable consumer goods, clothing and food. Most of it is under cover and hence not a bad place to wander during the heat of the day. Armed with a camera and a polite 'Mogu li ya snyatʹ vashu fotografiyu?' (may I take your photograph) you can get some very atmospheric pictures.

Halal Restaurants in Nukus

There are few options in town - both the Mona Lisa, and the Sheraton restaurants, listed in a popular guidebook, have shut or never existed. Searching around you will find acceptable y- Halal Kebab places, such as the one just east of the Savitsky museum (42°27'54.03"N, 59°37'11.17"E, on the junction of Rashidova & Dosnazarov).

Muslim Friendly Hotels

The prices in dollars are higher than prices in Uzbek som. And the hotels will want you to pay in dollars, not in som (except in Nukus Hotel).

• Jipek Jolly Hotel It is quite nice and clean. The shower and toilet are for two rooms. The shower is not that good, but as long as you have hot water, it's tolerable. The water is often just turned off, however.

• Nukus Hotel In the double and triple rooms and there is a good chance that someone will turn up at 23:30 and snore in the bed next to you, so you may want to book all the beds for privacy. Ask to see your room before paying and the quality varies (in particular the bathrooms). Air-con is consistently "just being repaired", water supply is uncertain, and in any case it is preferable to use bottled mineral water—even to brush your teeth.

• Hotel Tashkent | This big gloomy Soviet tower is not that bad by Nukus standards, but pretty crappy otherwise.
