Moreeb Dune — United Arab Emirates

Moreeb Dune

The world's tallest sand dune rises over 300 metres with a 50-degree incline; its fine; wind-sifted grains are saturated with iron oxide giving the slopes a deep terracotta hue; stand at the base during the winter season when the sand-drags are silent; the shifting dunes create a low; humming sound known as 'singing sands' as the wind rearranges the desert topography.
