Drive to Muynak (200 km ~3 hours drive).

Arrival in Muynak town, which used to be one of the richest towns in the delta of Amu-darya, a former port city and fish canning center, "the gates to Uzbekistan from the sea". Visit the "cemetery" of ships (wrecks of ships at the bottom of the former sea) and the local history museum.

Visit the Mizdakhan necropolis on the way back to Nukus (about 20 km from Nukus), an ancient cemetery located next to the remains of the Gyaur-Kala fortress (4th-3rd century BC).

- Gaur Kala (translated as the fortress of pagans) was a Zoroastrian town with a citadel, a fire altar, and a large cemetery nearby. Even after the Arab invasion and Islamic expansion, the town was inhabited until the 14th century, and people continued to bury their relatives in Mizdakhan as they believed the place was a sacred place.
