Almost in the very center of the famous Namib desert there are beautiful sand dunes, which are called Sossusvlei or Sossusvlei (in the original Sossusvlei).

The dunes here are among the highest in the world. Many reach 200 meters in height. The record holder in the Sossusflei Valley is a dune named Big Daddy Kane with a height of about 325 meters.

The color of the sand in the Sossusflei valley is certainly not blood-red, but rather pink-orange, and is due to the high content of iron oxides. But sometimes, under certain circumstances and positions of the sun, the dunes seem almost red.
