Road to Aral - extension of the truly magnificent map "Great Steppe" by two roads to the shore of Lake Aral and new cities. One of the key highlights of the "Road to Aral" mod is the inclusion of unique and meticulously crafted road networks that wind through picturesque plains, arid deserts, and stunning vistas around the Aral Sea. Drivers will encounter a variety of challenging terrains, including rugged mountain passes, bustling urban centers, and remote countryside villages, adding depth and realism to their virtual trucking adventures.
Features Road to Aral:
- Sparsely populated area with small villages, abandoned settlements and medium-sized cities; - Hop into your truck and drive through an area that will tell its own story; - Take a break on the shores of Lake Aral and watch the sadness of the dried up lake.

Introduction: The Aral Sea is situated in Central Asia, between the Southern part of Kazakhstan and Northern Uzbekistan. Up until the third quarter of the 20th century it was the world?s fourth largest saline lake, and contained 10grams of salt per liter. The two rivers that feed it are the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, respectively reaching the Sea through the South and the North. The Soviet government decided in the 1960s to divert those rivers so that they could irrigate the desert region surrounding the Sea in order to favor agriculture rather than supply the Aral Sea basin. The reason why we decided to explore the implications up to today of this human alteration of the environment is precisely that certain characteristics of the region, from its geography to its population growth, account for dramatic consequences since the canals have been dug. Those consequences range from unexpected climate feedbacks to public health issues, affecting the lives of millions of people in and out of the region.
