Lunch at the restaurant.
The Argun Gorge was formed by washing the river through the northern slope of the Black Mountains, which have a height of up to 4,700 meters.
Several hundred ancient architectural monuments, cyclopean structures, as well as prehistoric cave dwellings of people have been preserved in the gorge.
Since ancient times, it has been famous as a trade route along which caravans from the Caucasus to Europe traveled.
On the way, we will make a stop to see the famous Ushkaloy Towers, which were restored in 2011.
The twin towers were built in the XI-XII century and, unfortunately, have not been preserved in their original form.
They are considered a unique historical object of the country, and are also the hallmark of the Chechen Republic.

The park has a fountain with towers 18 meters high in the national style, 467 metal structures decorating about 150 thousand different flowers, planted palm trees, more than five hundred trees and 18 thousand shrubs.
Transfer to Argun.
The mosque named after Aimani Kadyrova, "Mother's Heart", is made in high-tech style.

Transfer to the observation deck of the Sulak Canyon.
The canyon of the Sulak River is impressive even in photographs, although no photo can convey the feeling when you stand on the edge of a precipice and feel how breathtaking it is.
No wonder, because this is one of the deepest canyons in the world – its depth is 1920 meters!
It is deeper than the famous Grand Canyon in Colorado.
Transfer to Sarykum (entrance to the dune for an additional fee).
The Sarykum barkhan is separated from the Central Asian deserts by 300 kilometers of the Caspian Sea.
