It lies on the right-bank plain of the lower Amu Darya along the Kegeyli canal at 60–70 metres, with marshy tugai woods in the west and north and dunes reaching the Kushkhanatau hills in the northwest. It borders Moynaq to the northwest, Bozatau to the west, Kegeyli to the south and Qoraozak to the east and northeast.
