Gobi Desert highlights and recommended tours
An introduction to the main sights of the South Gobi: Khongor Sand Dunes, Bayanzag and Yolyn Am.
Main sights of the South Gobi
- Khongor Sand Dunes: the large dunes are also called the "singing dunes". Camel rides and dune climbing are popular.
- Bayanzag (Flaming Cliffs): cliffs that glow red at sunset, known as the place where dinosaur fossils were found.
- Yolyn Am: a gorge whose name is often translated as "valley of the eagles". Some tours visit it on horseback.
Best season
May to September is the main season. In midsummer the sun is strong and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so bring a hat, sunscreen and a jacket.
