Sossussflay
Many travel to Namibia solely for the purpose of admiring the majestic sand dunes of Sossussflay. Bright raspberry, golden, orange, brown shades and even interspersed with white in places gave this place the glory of one of the most surreal landscapes in the world.
Situated in the arid Namib desert, the spectacular dunes are striking in their extraterrestrial colors associated with high salt content.

Ghost Town Kolmanskop
Lost in the sand dunes, Kolmanskop was once a diamond mining center. Once in this remote and completely inhospitable place, it’s hard to believe that people used to live here. Often, Kolmanskop is called a ghost town, because empty houses have been preserved here.
Wallpaper rustles from the wind and the doors creak in abandoned buildings, where old bathtubs, blackened by time, have still been preserved, which managed to become covered with a considerable layer of sand. A trip here allows you to immerse yourself in the era of diamond rush.
By the way, just recently we published an article about the ghost towns of our vast Motherland. We highly recommend reading it.
