Hiking
The tightrope walk to the approx. 600 m high dune Big Daddy is exhausting. The temperature and the wind sometimes make the ascent difficult. But it's definitely worth it! The view from the top is magnificent.

The hike from the end of the asphalt road to the dunes and back is simply brilliant in the morning! We were smirked at by the local guides, but we went in and out with incredible impressions that you don't get when driving through the sand on the track. My recommendation is therefore to go on foot 👍😉
