The fortress is beautiful, but it looks more spectacular and interesting in the photo than in real life. However, she will also look great in your photos. You have to go here with a guide - it's not so interesting to wander around the fortress without a story. To the attention of those who use the Tripster: choose an excursion in which you will have a separate driver and guide! If you are offered a guide and a driver in one person, it will be just a driver. Agree, a taxi ride should not cost as much as an excursion. To enter the fortress, a woman took 15,000 soums per person from us in a free and deserted parking lot. Such is the ticket office without tickets and receipts.
They take a bribe at the entrance. It's not a fact that it's official. Ask for a ticket.
We were at the end of March. It's very windy. And sandstorms. But for those who are in the desert for the first time, it is very impressive. Don't drag the children))
An amazing place! We went on an excursion to Karakalpakstan from Khiva. The reality has exceeded expectations! The colors of Kyzylkum are amazing! It's hard to describe it in words! We must see! The antiquity of the 4th century!
One of the most interesting settlements. Like it. However, to get there, you should use a taxi (you can arrange with the driver to take you around the fortresses, I managed to bargain up to 120,000 soums, which is about 800 rubles), the driver spoke little Russian, drove me for about 2 hours and waited. Perhaps if you are traveling in a group, it will be more interesting to go with a guide. There are yurts not far from Ayaz-Kala, you can spend the night, the excitement falls on the beginning of autumn, as I understand the prices there are high. Tourists make good money, there are camels nearby for a reason.
