I'm Olimjon S., your private tour guide in Nukus
Guide #52577
O'zbekistonga xush kelibsiz! Welcome to Uzbekistan a land of friendly people! My name is Olimjon and I will be your local tour guide in Nukus, Karakalpakstan, a northwestern part of Uzbekistan. Touring with me you will get to know Uzbekistan in full size, our culture and traditions, our history and legends, our food and people, you will get to know all of it while visiting touristic attractive places, such as Aral seashore, Muynak ship cemetery, ancient Khorezm fortresses and Khiva. I am an avid traveler and I love to travel and to meet new cultures, I have been in +20 countries so far and I have new plans where to go next. In everyday life, I love playing tennis, whenever I can, and besides enjoying playing tennis I teach tourism subjects to students at the local university. I am a researcher focusing on water, energy, agriculture, tourism topics of Central Asia with interdisciplinary approach with project background on renewable energy, biogas technologies, public healthcare in Uzbekistan while my publications discuss problems on energy economics, sustainable tourism, public-private partnership. So far, I have been working with various projects of intergovernmental organizations (i. e. , UNDP, UNESCO, UNEP) and financial institutions (i. e. , World Bank, ADB, EBRD) in Uzbekistan. But besides my academic profession and my love for tennis, guiding is my true passions. I started with tour guiding in 2013 as I love my country and I wanted to share my knowledge and experiences with people who are coming to Uzbekistan. Since 2016 Uzbekistan is achieving significant growth in inbound tourism and we all are very happy to know that more and more people are discovering our homeland as a new tourist destination. Regarding tours, I can say that my favourite tour is to the Aral seashore which is a very quiet zone to relax and forget daily urban problems. If you visit the Aral Sea, you will discover extreme and desert tourism showing rural lifestyles with unique climatic conditions, but I would like to hear your thoughts, your questions in order to help you to make the perfect tour that will be customized only for you and your personal interests. Don't hesitate to contact me and to join me in discovering my ancient and beautiful homeland. I would be glad to meet you in Uzbekistan!

This tour is a great option if you are short on time and want to see the Aral Sea from Khiva. The days are long and there is lots of driving, but that is a given due to the distances involved. You do make interesting stops in the Karakalpakstan region along the way (I particularly enjoyed the Savitsky museum, Chilpik Kala, Muynaq ship graveyard, and Ustyurt Canyon), and...

Flawless communication and service. Everything worked exactly as scheduled in a very long and tiring day trip that couldn't have been realized in any other way. Many thanks to Olimjon and our hard-working driver.

The Aral Sea is a catastrophe and to get to its remote shoreline considerable organization is required. This was all handled professionally by Olimjon, who I couldn't recommend more. Olimjon is knowledgeable and thoughtful and even for the most intrepid traveler, the assistance of someone like Olimjon in getting to what remains of the Aral Sea is an absolute necessity.

Olimjon and his driver took us on an incredible journey to the Aral Sea. Olimjon is a specialist on the destruction and attempted salvation and use of this ecological disaster. Over a very long and bumpy trail across the bottom of the old sea we learned amazing info and eventually arrived at a yurt camp where we stayed overnight. This trip is not for the faint hearted,...
