People who have been to this desert all agree that Badain Jaran Desert is even more beautiful than Sahara, the largest desert in the world. In Badain Jaran Desert, the sand dunes are undulating, lakes are lovely-colored, wild lives and plants are abundant, stars are bright and local culture is authentic.
