By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/where-desert-meets-water.htmlIn the southern part of the Namib Desert are the highest and most beautiful sand dunes in the world. Their color varies from pink to bright orange. These dunes stretch all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Blue waves lick the sand dunes of the Namib, and this sight is truly mesmerizing.
