The Namib Desert, spanning parts of Namibia, Angola, and South Africa, is considered the oldest desert in the world. Its origins date back over 55 million years. Known for its towering sand dunes, some of which are the tallest globally, the Namib is a unique and arid ecosystem. These dunes create stunning landscapes, especially during sunrise and sunset, when their colors shift dramatically.

Despite its harsh conditions, the Namib Desert supports a surprising variety of life. Adapted species like the Namib Desert beetle, oryx, and Welwitschia plant thrive here. The desert also has significant cultural and geological importance, with ancient rock art and fossilized remains providing insights into Earth's history. It is a popular destination for adventurers and photographers seeking its stark beauty.
