Mui Ne Sand Dunes

A miniature desert of rolling golden and red sand dunes, where sunset sets the sand ablaze.

The Mui Ne sand dunes are like a patch of desert lost in the coastal land of Binh Thuan. Endless rolling dunes of golden and red sand shift their shape with the wind each day. Dawn and dusk are the most beautiful, when slanting light dyes the sand a magical orange-red and casts shadows over the soft ripples. Sliding down from the dune tops, letting the sea breeze caress you, gazing at the wide horizon — Mui Ne offers a sense of adventure amid a surreal scenery rarely found in Vietnam.
