Mo'ynoq
8.2
Lower score (below 6)
Moynaq was the Aral Sea's main fishing port — it now sits 150km from the water in open desert, with a famous graveyard of rusting fishing trawlers stranded mid-sand. That spectacle pulls a steady trickle of dark tourists and adventure photographers, so locals are more accustomed to foreigners than almost anywhere else in the region. But this is a town of about 12,000 people whose entire economic reason for existing collapsed when the sea left; you are here to look at the boats, and everyone knows it. There is no social infrastructure and no reason to stay beyond a night.
