Among its notable landmarks are the remains of the Nur Fortress, which, according to local tradition, was built by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE, offering visitors a captivating glimpse into the region’s rich history and cultural heritage.
Aydarkul Lake, often referred to as the “turquoise pearl” of the Kyzylkum Desert, is a vast man-made reservoir formed in the 1960s as part of a water management project along the Syr Darya River. Stretching over 250 kilometers in length, the lake offers a striking contrast to the surrounding arid landscapes, with its clear blue waters providing a haven for migratory birds and local wildlife.
