Vietnam’s Sahara
Bau Trang Sand dunes lay 65 km North-East of Phan Thiet in Vietnam. Renting a motorbike or a Jeep in MuiNe and cruising along the beautiful coast makes for a great day trip. Hiking through the Saharan-like dunes can be quite challenging in the heat but definitely worth the experience. A small stand of pine trees sitting on the southern end of the dune lakes offer a perfect spot to escape the intense sun. The best time to visit is at sunrise or sunset to catch the changing colors from pure white to golden orange.
