In the traditional sense of the sea in the Asian country has no, but this does not mean that it is not suitable for a beach holiday. The fact that Uzbekistan is rich with wonderful lakes, among which.
Aral Sea
Once one of the largest seas in the world, the Aral Sea is now commonly referred to as a lake. The Aral Sea in Uzbekistan is a vivid example of how human carelessness can destroy nature. There are many reasons for the shallowing of the sea. This is not following the rules of hydrological art, and unauthorized planting of cotton and rice paddies near the sea, and natural causes.
Despite the changes, the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan is still suitable for recreation. The drainless lake is surrounded by a white salty desert with a billion shells. In the middle you can see a rocky plateau covered with aromatic and steppe grasses. The Aral is often compared to the Dead Sea in Israel: it has the same salt water, the mud is suitable for treating illnesses, and in warm weather the sea is suitable for bathing.
So why is the Aral still considered a seaside resort in Uzbekistan? Incredible surreal landscapes, golden sands, “graveyard of ships”, jeep safaris, salt baths make the Aral Sea a suitable destination for holidays in Uzbekistan in 2022.
Aidarkul
The most famous lake in Uzbekistan is Aidarkul. The beach area and infrastructure are not particularly developed, but this point does not stop interested tourists. Most of all, the lake attracts wildlife and good opportunities for fishing at any time of year: it does not freeze even in winter.
Charvak reservoir
