The post The World’s Most Stunning Deserts appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Deserts are a great place for any nature lover to explore and get lost. Here are three of the world’s finest deserts that you have to see for yourself.
The crown jewel of North Africa, the Sahara Desert completely dominates the landscape of this part of the Earth. You will find plenty of experiences to help you discover this fascinating place, from camel rides in Morocco to a trip to see the Great Pyramids in Egypt.
The Atacama Desert in South America is located in northern Chile and is commonly regarded as one of the driest places on Earth, even drier than the Sahara. Almost no rain falls here due to the blocking effect of the Andes Mountains, turning this stretch of land into a barren expanse.
Snow leopards and Bactrian camels roam through the Gobi Desert, which takes up 1,295 million km² of land in China and Mongolia, making it the world’s largest desert. Sand dunes that “sing” when the wind blows and camel trekking experiences are some of the most popular things to see and do here.

]]>The “Mano del Desierto” (Hand of the Desert) statue that can be found in Chile’s Atacama Desert is one of the best examples of this and a place that you should definitely seek out in South America.
In the far north of the country, about 35 miles away from the major city of Antofagasta, is this fascinating work of art by Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrazabal.
Made of a structure of iron and an exterior of cement, this striking work of art, which rises 36 meters above the desert floor, is a fascinating example of art that blends in with its natural surroundings seamlessly.
Various meanings have been ascribed to the “Mano del Desierto,” including a message that is a cry for help, a “goodbye” to the visitors who leave Anafagosta, and various other possible interpretations.
Located just off of the Pan-American Highway, this work of art is easily accessible and won’t take you too long to find.
Don’t miss your opportunity to find this fascinating piece of art on your next Chilean vacation!
