There is not water but grey bottom, curve of the river with high external and gentle inner banks. However, in its midstream, it impresses as if it is a live river with banks covered with bushes of reed and tamarisk. The riverbed is filled with bright blue lakes salty brine.

The Uzboy Valley collects subsoil waters from all surrounding territory. Salty waters of the Western Uzboy are famous from the old times with healing power of its water and mineral mud. True miracle, never drying fresh water lakes of Topyatan, Karategelek and the pearl of the desert Yaskhan meet thirsty travelers after Ajikuin Curve and sand hills of lowland Karakum Desert.

Salt lakes of Uzboy are also attractive. They are true natural masterpieces, which have been formed up in the result of shallowing but until now, is fed up from underground sources. Pink lakes of Dordul have special attraction. There are white water pools with layers of sodium salt, which has a healing effect. One of the lakes, which is famous with its healing mud, is located in Kartush-Baba.

The region after Uzboy is quite deserted and severe place with wonderful landscape – flattop hills are alternate with wide lowlands. It seems that surface of the plateau is cut with countless cavities stretched from northwest – to southeast. The depth of these cavities reaches several dozens of meters. The remains, short mountains with average height of 40 meters as well as 300-meter highlands can be met in this place.

Each of them has its own name – Ersary-Baba, Akgyr, Tekjik, Koymatdag, Tuarkyr, Cholker, Kaplankyr… Due to alteration of heights and lowlands, the region is called Uzboy folded region. Same like Ustyurt, the landscape was formed up by residual rock formations – layers of limestone, marl, sandstone, clay.

Rookery next to Kemal-ata spring preferred by camels also strikes with fantastic forms of fossils, which combined with saxaul and running water look like a landscape from pre-historical period. Geologists say that these fossils appeared during drying up of the World Ocean and tectonic raise of former seabed.
