It features the towering red sand dunes of Sossusvlei and the stark white clay pan of Deadvlei, home to 900-year-old dead camel thorn trees. The list includes the 30-meter deep Sesriem Canyon, the 1909 Eduard Bohlen shipwreck stranded in the sand, and the mysterious barren patches known as Fairy Circles. It also showcases Duwisib Castle, a stone fortress built in 1908, and the private NamibRand Nature Reserve.
