5Namib Desert, Namibia

The Namib Desert, one of the oldest deserts in the world, is renowned for its towering red sand dunes that seem to stretch endlessly towards the horizon.

The most iconic among them is Dune 45, a towering behemoth that offers panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape. At Sossusvlei, a salt and clay pan surrounded by towering dunes, visitors can witness the surreal sight of dead camel thorn trees juxtaposed against the stark desert backdrop, creating a scene of haunting beauty.
